Eu morri no meu aniversário, mas os meus pais e o meu marido não perceberam. Eles estavam ocupados demais, dedicando toda a atenção para planejar a festa de aniversário da minha irmã gêmea, Esme Shaw. Enquanto ela estava cercada por pessoas ajudando-a a escolher um vestido, eu fui amarrada e jogada no porão. Com a pouca força que me restava, forcei meus dedos quebrados a digitar o código—9395. Era um sinal que meu marido, Edwin Grant, e eu tínhamos combinado. Era uma forma direta de pedir ajuda em caso de perigo. Nunca pensei que um dia realmente precisaria dele. Mas quando enviei, ele não acreditou em mim. Sua resposta foi fria: "Claudia, está fazendo um espetáculo só porque não te levei pra comprar um vestido novo?" Você ainda pode usar o vestido do ano passado. Pare de arrumar confusão. Te vejo na festa mais tarde.” O que ele não sabia era que Esme já havia destruído aquele vestido em pedaços. Ele não tinha ideia de que eu parti logo após desligar. A celebração começou e eu não estava presente. Um alvoroço tomou conta da sala quando viram o presente que eu tinha preparado para a Esme com antecedência.
