-- Five Months Later --
"How about this one?" The sales woman suggested. Sophie looked at the dress before back to the woman holding it.
"Look the groom and I have been living together for almost two years now… I think the white might be a bit of a stretch." This was not how Sophie Rooks intended to spend her Saturday afternoon. She and Bobby had plans but he was called away on a case, as always. Plan B took over and she decided to go on the hunt for a wedding dress. They were just planning on a quick trip to the JP, neither wanting for a big hoopla. The wedding was set to take place two weeks from today and would be followed by a week in Mexico. The money they were saving by not having a big wedding was going to fund the honeymoon.
Which reminded Sophie, she had another stop to make while she was out. A little something special for the honeymoon. She continued to wonder around the shop, finally finding what she considered the perfect dress. Knee length, dark blue, the skirt was billowing while the top would cling in the right places. With a content sigh she walked to the car, garment bag slung over her arm. She made her second stop then headed home.
She was almost home when something struck her. Not literally but something tightened in her chest, quickly she pulled over and sat still for a moment. There was no explanation for what was happening. It felt like a panic attack but Sophie knew that there was nothing for her to upset about. The tension began to loosen up, taking a deep breath she put the car back into gear and pulled back into traffic.
Arriving at the house she made it through the back door just as the phone finished ringing. The answering machine was flashing: 3 missed calls. That's weird, she thought. They usually received calls on their cell phones, the answering machine was mostly back up at this point. Pulling out her cell she noticed that she had missed 3 other calls, probably when she was in the changing room. Before she could hit redial on her cell the house phone began to ring again.
"Hello?"
"Sophie! It's Eames, I've been trying to reach you for an hour now." She froze… the pain in her chest earlier.
"What happened?"
"We're at the hospital… you need get down here." Sophie nodded, not realizing that Eames couldn't see her.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." Both women hung up their respective phones. Sophie tried to catch her breath. Something happened. Picking up her keys, she hurried back out the door, pausing for a moment to lock it. Eames had a strange tone of voice that she had never heard before… fear.
