Chapter 2: The Opera angel
Mimi heard Jack Devereaux´s voice from the stage: "And now sings the word famous opera diva and Salem´s own Chloe Lane Black."
"And now Salem´s even owner Mimi Lockhart fights with her bridal gown," Mimi murmured in the dressing-room and walked to the door. "Hey, I need help!"
The man (or woman?) who stood behind the window watched her golden tan under the open dress. That blonde hair, those green eyes... Striking little thing.
Mimi turned around and saw something moving behind the window.

Nicole Walker Kiriakis almost squirmed in her chair. She did not like the song - The Phantom of the Opera - and seeing the former wall-rose blooming at the stage made her felt deep, raw jealousy. Brady wanted Chloe, his sweet pure Chloe. Even Victor always said how classy Chloe was.
Hell, I hope I had a drink.
--
Could it be the guy she had seen before? Mimi pondered when she heard someone walking in the corridor.
It was an auburn-haired girl with red top and a miniskirt. "Hey? Can you help me?"
Cassie looked at petite and very pretty blonde in the lacy bridal-gown. "Okay," she said. "That´s why I am here."
--
"Cassie DiMera?" Mimi said. "Have you a brother, by the way?"
"Yea. My twin brother Rex." I would kill for those curves and tan. "Why?"
"He was here searching his sister." Mimi said. "I just thought..." How the hell to say she suspected the guy was a stalker?
Cassie laughed. "He´s a bit of geeky. Spends all days with his computer. A real gem to a guy, and not bad-looking, either."
"Seems to be in genes." Mimi looked Cassie´s thin firm body and pretty face. " By the way, are you the model, too?"
Cassie laughed mockingly. "No, at least not to Belle."
"Why?"
"Because my half-sister and me have a this less than friendly competition. We can´t stand each others."
"Well, you still like yourselves under that, don´t you?"
"No, we don´t. We met first time as teens and Belle... she can´t stand me, sorry. Anyway, I think I´m going. Bridal gowns come after Chloe stops singing."
"Means NOW!" Mimi started to run.
