Sophie’s flight took off from boutique to shop manager, to an actress-cum-boutique owner to a fashion designer. Though both the girls, were earmarked for a biscuit factory.

Like every young girl, Sophie also fancied the world was prepared to greet her. She also had in her fancies a strong feeling of knowing the unknown, seeing the unseen and even meeting and welcoming the strangers. Though her father forbade her to be taken to unknown places and countries, yet Sophie expected Geoff to acquaint her to all new and strange things, people and places. She fancied the world greeting and applauding them.

Finally, in her fantasizing she had a lover Danny Casey in her mind. So she visited the perfect place for lovers and sat on the solitary wooden bench under the tree. She waited for her lover coming out of shadows but there was no sign of him. She became burdened with sadness.Thus Sophie’s dreams and disappointments are all of her own creations.
