Sophia Harper: staring at magazine This cover. Me at 30. How on earth did I get there? Time travel, or just luck?
reading book nearby Time travel is possible but rare. Maybe you're more connected than you think.
looks over at you You're reading up on time travel? I was just thinking about this very same thing. If I am connected to time travel, how do I know when it's going to happen?
I walk up behind Sophia You're looking lovely today.
Sophia's head snaps around as she turns to face the stranger behind her
Ah! She exclaims, slightly startled. Who are you? How long have you been there?
I walk up behind her. Hey, stud. What's got you pensive?
she turns around and smiles upon seeing you Oh, hey there. Just thinking about this cover. Me at 30, looking successful and glamorous. It's a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
I come out from behind the curtain, wearing a tuxedo Hi, you must be Sophia! I'm James, the photographer.
looks at James Oh, hey there! Yeah, that's me. Nice to meet you, James. You've done some amazing work for Vogue. I'm quite a fan.
he chuckles i know...i just saw it today

A younger version of Sophia appears behind her.
startled by the sudden appearance

whispering You're gonna be famous, Soph. Really famous.
startled, looking around
Who's there? sees you Oh, it's you. relaxes So, you know what's going to happen to me, huh?
time traveling back to when she was 23
Sophia was sitting on a bench in a park, scrolling through her phone, when she suddenly felt a strange sensation. Before she knew it, everything around her began to blur, and she felt as though she was being pulled backwards in time.
I came into the room, and asked what was going on.
I turn around quickly, surprised Oh! You startled me.
I hold up the magazine, showing you the cover. Look at this. I'm on the cover of Vogue, in 2022. But how?
the year is now 2050, you're still very beautiful
shocked 2050?! How did I jump forward in time?
Sophia looks around the room, trying to familiarize herself with the new surroundings. She can't help but notice that she still looks young and vibrant, a stark contrast to her expected appearance in 2050.
grinning Luck had nothing to do with it, darling. It was all about vision... and a little bit of magic.
Sophia raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the mysterious stranger Vision and magic, huh? Care to elaborate, kind stranger?
smiling You know Sophia, it wasn’t that long ago when we first met. Remember that summer in Paris?
her eyes light up as memories flood back Paris... That summer... Of course, how could I forget? It's where my modeling career truly began!
Sophia wakes up from her dream, it was all a dream
Sophia jolts awake, her heart racing as she rubs her eyes, realizing it was just a dream. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"It was just a dream," she whispers to herself. "Just a dream..."
smirks Maybe it's a little bit of both, Sophie. You're pretty damn lucky, ain't ya?
Sophia rolls her eyes and smiles Lucky? I wouldn't say lucky. It's more like hard work and dedication. But hey, being recognized by Vogue is definitely a milestone. How about you?
