Mysterious Bride

More photographers and journalists show up backstage after the show is over. I get to work with the choreography that is navigating between models and fashion reporters for big name magazines. Debby takes photos as I speak with the journalists and the models, and our eyes never meet, although I'm sure she looks at me when I'm not looking at her.


Someone starts to scream and I sprint to the changing area down the hall. A model is yelling at Peter, a young new assistant designer. When the model sees me, she jumps at me and grabs hold of me.


"You!" she screams. "Peter, this is the one! She handed me a new dress, and I was still wearing my earrings, and now they're gone!"

I look at Peter with a slight smile. "Oh, sweetheart. Do you know who you're talking to?"
