OOC: This is a closed thread for SlvrTongueDevil and Sharpchick.
Our story starts when Selena has to go out of town on business. Although she has been married several times, Selena opted not to have children, concentrating on her career instead. She has climbed the corporate ladder to relative success, and is proud that she made it in a formerly male dominated business, even though it meant giving up some of the pleasures she enjoyed when she was younger.
Selena is packing for her trip, and is somewhat irritated because the housesitting agency she uses has just called to say her usual sitter is not available and a new person will be over shortly to meet her and be briefed on what she needs while she’s gone.
IC: Tugging her garment bag out of the walk-in closet, Selena cursed under her breath as she realized she hadn’t been to the cleaners to pick up her favorite suit. The plane would leave tomorrow morning early, and she just wouldn’t have time to go and get it if she was going to finish packing at a decent hour. She still had to put the final touches on the shareholders’ report and e-mail it ahead to the hotel for reproduction and binding. She’d just have to wear the navy, although she really did not like its severe lines, feeling they made her look older than she really was. That meant she’d need different shoes, and she couldn’t remember the last time she’d seen the pair she wanted.
Her eyes scanning the neat row of shoes on the closet floor, she located one pump, but not the other. She looked along the row, into the corner, and saw it behind a file storage box. What was that and what was it doing in here? Brow wrinkled, she pulled the box out of the corner and sat down on the floor to take a look.
As she lifted the top off the box, Selena was taken back to days long gone, days when she spent more time laughing and less time stressing over deadlines. She looked through the first few items and felt the pictures underneath. Now she recalled why she had put the box in her closet instead of the attic – the photographs. She had been afraid mice might get to them, and they weren’t exactly the kind of photos one framed and set on the fireplace mantel for all to admire. Still, she probably should do something with them. She hauled the box out of the closet.
She still had to get her other shoe and get on with packing. Nudging the box under the dressing table, she started back into the closet, and heard the doorbell downstairs. Damn, it was probably the housesitter and it would take a good half to three quarters of an hour to familiarize him or her with the house and the alarm system.
She straightened her blouse and flipped her long dark hair over her shoulders as she headed for the stairs. . .
