Heather bought a new purse last week

inside she placed
a half used lipstick,
a fresh tube of mascara,
a book that she had been trying to read for the last month,
a pen (in case she needed it),
tissues,
her wallet,
and both her house and car keys.

Only then did she realize the zipper was broken,
so she took everything out to return it.
