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.

She had plans for the day.

Tomorrow was the long–anticipated party, and she needed a dress.. a showstopper, something that would make her feel alive after such a tense morning.

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.
