Personal Shopper Page #5

Synopsis: It's been already three months since the sudden death of her 27-year-old twin brother Lewis from a congenital malformation of the heart, and Maureen, a young fashionista, assistant to a celebrity woman and a capable medium, still hasn't made any contact with him. Spending her time between high profile fashion establishments and the abandoned Lewis' house in Paris, Maureen is silently battling with the gut-wrenching grief and sorrow, while at the same time, looking for a sign from her deceased brother after an oath taken between the twins. Aloof, disoriented and still mourning, wraithlike Maureen attuned to the ethereal realm, is inevitably caught between this world and the spiritual, always looking for portholes and a sign that would prove her brother right, however, in vain. Unexpectedly, as the days pass by swiftly and the random apparitions become more frequent, Maureen will start to receive strange text messages from an unknown sender who seems to know a lot about her, but in the e

Who is this?

Unknown:
Have a guess.

No, answer my question.

Are you a man or a woman?

Unknown:
What difference does it make?

Are you real?

Are you alive or dead?

Alive or dead??

Lewis?

Airplane Mode:
On.

Unknown:
I want you.

Stop.

I want you and I will have you.

How did you get this number?

I'm blocking you.

You don't want to know who I am anymore?

Unknown:
I'm here. I'm watching you.

Unknown:
I'm kidding. I'm not there.

Unknown:
But I may be in London.

Unknown:
You want to know where?

Where?

Thanks for answering.

Where??

I won't be in London.

Are you relieved?

Or disappointed?

What do you want?

You.

Not physically.

To make contact.

First.

I've prepared everything Kyra asked for.

Two dresses she picked

from the photograph,

and a third one that didn't photograph

so well but I think she'll like it.

Which one?

This one there.

It's silk organza.

In a photo you lose some

of the sheen but,

It really plays well with the light.

Oh yeah, it's cool.

It's really cool.

The harness comes in

different colours as well.

- Can I see them?

- Yeah.

There you go.

We've got gold, black and nude.

In black.

Not for all tastes, but I think

it'll look amazing with Kyra.

Do you want to try it?

Come.

Unknown:
I suggest a game.

I hate games.

Sorry.

You want to try the dress?

No, I'll take it in two colours

so that she has the option.

Cool. I'll get it all packed up for you.

Unknown:
Then not a game.

Something else.

Meaning??

Are you waiting for your train?

Yes.

So answer my questions.

Do you want to be someone else?

Yes.

Who?

I don't know.

I can't know for you.

Tell me something you find unsettling.

Horror movies.

Why?

A woman runs from a killer and hides.

What you find unsettling is fear.

Are you often scared?

No.

Unknown number

I'm on the train.

I'll drop the stuff off this evening.

When do you get back?

Even if it's early afternoon,

It's okay. It'll be ready for you

in a garment bag.

I have to pick up

the jewellery from Cartier,

but everything, they said, is ready.

I would prefer it in euros

if that's not a problem...

You know you could ask your driver to

stop at an ATM on the way back from CTG.

It'll take two seconds.

It was 400.

We agreed on 400.

There are a couple of

taxi receipts as well.

See you tomorrow.

Yesterday, I tried on the shoes

of the woman I work for.

Why are you telling me?

Because she wouldn't let me try them on.

So the answer is what's forbidden?

No desire if it's not forbidden.

What else is forbidden?

Unknown:
Answering my questions?

Yes.

Unknown:
Are you back?

Yes.

Your place?

Kyra's?

How do you know?

You want to try on Kyra's dresses?

Yep.
