I admired the sun as it peaked through the trees. The sunset distracted me from the fact that I sat across from Victor in the back of his Mercedes-Benz V250 wearing a black, off-shoulder mini dress with long sleeves.

This drawing is horrible. When did I get so bad? I ripped the page out of my sketch book as a knock came from my door. When I called out for them to enter, I was met by my mother.

"Darling, They are here for you." She spoke softly.

My heart skipped a beat. "O.K. I'll be down in a bit." With a nod, she closed the door. This was it. I just had to prove myself to the cruelest man I've ever met. If I fail, we all fail.
