The soft hum of my pencil moving across the sketchpad filled the stillness of my studio. My office had become my sanctuary—a place where I could lose myself in my designs. Today was no different. The sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the sketches scattered across my desk. I was halfway through refining the lines of a gown when I heard a familiar voice break the peaceful silence.

She strode in, pulling down her shades with a dramatic flourish. "You do not want to see my face, trust me," she warned, eyes wide beneath the scarf.
Curiosity piqued, I arched an eyebrow. "Why, what happened?"
