"I'm finally here!" said Emiru, as she stretched out her arms above her head and inhaling the cool, breezy air of southern California. " Los Angeles, the home of cute boys and girls but also miles of homeless camps" Emi thought to herself. "Ugh maybe I should head inside somewhere" as Emi caught a whiff of the nearby homeless encampment. On that thought, Emi heads inside to Saks 5th Avenue in Beverly Hills, her original destination.

Emi heads inside and is greeted by familiar sights, rows of designer clothing, handbags, skincare products and fashion items adorn the aisles. Emi is so happy to be in Los Angeles and not in dumpy old Austin, Texas anymore. With glee, Emi strolls down the aisles of Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, her delicate, pale fingers gently touching and grazing the expensive designer dresses and blouses.

One item catches her eye, it is a simple white blouse with a mid-cut at the chest level, tied up with a simple lace string. "Hmmm?" Emi thinks. "Should I buy this one?" Emi wonders as she is holding the blouse, and she takes a peak at the price tag attached at the bottom of the blouse. "$900 for this, geez. I'm rich but I'm not dumb, I can find something similar for much less at Bloomingdales." Emi concludes. "Still, it is an elegant, pretty little thing, aren't you?" Emi thinks, with a longing, studious gaze on the overpriced white blouse, her delicate hands gently cradling the item.

"Hi, welcome to Saks Fifth Avenue!" Emi hears a cheerful, male voice behind her. Surprised, she turns around to stare at the chest of the staffer who managed to sneak up behind her. Emi is overpowered by his cologne - it smells like cinnamon, sandalwood and vanilla. "Hi, you startled me-" Emi begins to say when she her words are caught in her throat
