At this point, Clara no longer believed that the two times she had 'seen' Adelyn earlier were mere illusions.
If anything —
She was now certain.
She had seen her in real.
Still …
With little hope in her heart, she asked for one final confirmation. Her fingers were curled at her sides.
"In … which room was she auditioning?
The crew member paused for a moment. Then, recalling, he replied, "The same room you entered, Ms. Scott. In fact, she was the candidate who was scheduled just before you."
He hesitated with slight confusion before adding, "When you entered, you might have come across her exiting. Didn't you see her?"
He spoke casually, unaware that Adelyn was held back by the Producer Polson.
Meanwhile —
Clara had already received the confirmation she needed.
The moment his words sank in, the image flashed back in her mind —
The familiar silhouette.
The glimpse of the woman she caught when she entered the audition hall earlier.
It was … her.
