She stood before him, in a blue dress that left a very little amount to the imagination. Her hair was blonde and her makeup was heavy. But her outstretched hand and her coy way of forming her body to mold with his made his mind lose all conscious thought. It didn't help that the alcohol had already made his mind a complete mess either.

He called her Elizabeth.

Her real name began with an 'G', he recalled vaguely; but his mind brushed it aside as she pulled him into an empty room. While she worked on taking his jacket and such off, he was quite content to just lie back and watch her move. She spoke in whispers and with words that were meant to arouse, he supposed, but neither did anything for him. The alcohol was seeping into the deeper crevices of his mind as he smiled softly to her, "You were always so beautiful, Elizabeth."

Giselle said nothing to this, having been called other names before, as she placed his hands on her waist with a provocative look in her eyes, "My turn."

The same events happened as with every customer that Giselle had had in the past, but this one was different. Throughout the night he referred to her as Elizabeth, and spoke such things that for the first time in her 'career' wondered what had bruised this man so much that even when he was drunk, his mind was still on the woman he loved.

The next morning, she dressed him and set him in the alleyway for him to wake. Before turning and finding her next customer, she gave him one more look over.

"I hope you find her."
