      Author’s Note

      Thank you, dear reader, for stopping by. The events you are about to read happened to me in real life. I want to share this short story with all of you who have ever been robbed of a dream, or some cash. Some names have been changed and dates rearranged so that the nice, real characters don’t freak out.

      Lights, camera, action! I strut forward, right foot first. My left follows, and suddenly I’m taking long coordinated strides across the floor. Hips swing from side to side in a coquettish way.

      It was true—crossing any big street with a jam of traffic did that to me. It happened so often that at one point, I was convinced I’d be modeling for a living one day. The story of how I started daydreaming about being a fashion model took me by surprise, considering I was utterly shy and antisocial.

      All the way through middle school, teachers teased me about never smiling. I was an awkward child. In fact, too shy to ever make it in showbiz. Everything changed sometime in my mid-teen years when I started to feel more comfortable in my skin. I know because it’s impossible to forget the precise moment you start making your way out of your shell.

      I managed a dance troupe at the time. There were six of us—three girls and three boys,
