The model, the fabric, the silhouette... It was her vision, but the label read a designer she had never heard of. Her hands began to tremble. Her mouth was dry.

She felt a desperate need to escape, to retreat from the world. She closed her eyes, trying to block out the image, but it was burned into her mind. She felt a sudden, sharp pain in her chest.
