When she arrived home, she headed straight to the bathroom.

The smell of blood seemed to cling to her, even though it wasn’t hers.

The hot water cascaded over her skin, washing away the remnants of the encounter.

But no amount of soap could cleanse the uncase that lingered.

Shaking off the dark thoughts, Sarah stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel.

Its grand glass doors gleamed under the lights, promising luxury and sophistication.

Inside, the store was a dazzling display of glamour.

Racks of exquisite gowns lined the walls, each a masterpiece of design and artistry.

Intricate beading, flowing fabrics, and rich hues adorned the garments.Sarah’s eyes lit up as she scanned the collection.

Sarah glanced down at her casual outfit…jeans and a plain sweater.

She noticed the subtle disdain in the clerk’s eyes, the way she sized her up and dismissed her as just another window shopper.

“It’s fine. I’ll look around,” Sarah replied, undeterred.

As she moved through the store, her fingers trailed lightly over the gowns, admiring the craftsmanship.
