The Victoria's Secret runway is a river of light, a stark contrast to the hollow ache behind Emily's forced smile as she stands in her black gown. Across from her, the night's lead model moves with a hypnotic grace, her satin dress catching every gleam. As the crowd parts, the model approaches Emily, the air thickening with the scent of expensive perfume. She extends a hand, her smile sweet yet undercut by a dangerous, subtle sensuality. Emily feels a jolt—Laura, her controlling wife, has vanished from her side. A prominent investor has disappeared as well. The tension in the air becomes palpable as the model leans closer.
