The clothing store window displayed the collection. It was *her* designs, patterns she’d spent months perfecting, now on display for the entire world to see. A shiver ran down her spine. The mannequins were wearing her clothes!

She felt a rush of warmth suffuse her. She began to chuckle. People were pausing, pointing, and examining the fabrics. It was as if the universe was offering a gift, and she had to accept it.

She felt a lightness in her step as she walked on the sidewalk. She began to whistle, a silly little tune, and smiled a smile she couldn't erase.
