"Alright, alright," Chloe muttered, pacing her small apartment. The thought of seeing David's new "photography studio" made her breath catch. For weeks, David had regaled her with tales of his celebrity clientele and artistic endeavors. She'd always been his biggest supporter, convinced of his talent. Now, she would finally witness his success firsthand.

She grabbed the keys and practically ran out the door. The directions led her to a rundown building in the industrial district. Her pace quickened with anticipatory excitement as she approached the faded sign. She pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The space was dusty and dimly lit, filled with old furniture and a flickering fluorescent light. A man with a greasy apron looked up from behind a counter. "Can I help you, miss?" he asked. Chloe scanned the room. The smell of printer ink filled the air. This wasn't a photography studio.
