The girl behind the register looks up at him, her expression clearly showing she didn't want to tell him what had happened with Melanie. "Well....Sir....She liked the dress, and when she came out after getting dressed, she asked about the restaurants staying open late on Saturdays. I told her today was Sunday. She seemed stunned, and she....backed out....of the store into the mall. I don't know where she is. I'm sorry. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know what to do."
Melanie looks all around the mall. Everything seems so loud, so busy, so crowded. She can't breathe. Panic begins to set in for her, and she begins to hyperventilate. 'I missed a whole day? What happened? Why did he lie about the bee sting? What's going on?' She runs her fingers through her hair and clenches tightly. "What's happening," she yells getting the attention of everyone around her. "What's happening? What day is it? WHAT DAY IS IT?" A scared teenage boy tells her, "It's Sunday Ma'am. Do you need help," he asks reaching for her shoulder. "Don't touch me! Sunday? It's Sunday? What happened to Saturday? K-Kaden? Kaden!" As people tried to close in on her, she panicked further and began to back away from them all. "Don't touch me! Stay away from me!"
