The silent isolation of the now-empty room wrapped its icy disdain around Genie, bringing her back to the present. She cleared her throat and pushed aside the memory of that devastating moment when her perfect life had ended. She didn’t want to relive it again. Not now. Not ever.
“Go away,” Genie said to the incessant knocker.
“Gene, open the door.” Cami’s unrelenting voice traveled through the walls.
Genie didn’t respond. Just kept staring at herself in the mirror. Her dark hair piled on top of her head still looked perfect. Her blue eyes were vacant of anything, even sadness, she thought. But that would come if she succumbed to the tears. She had to keep them imprisoned. She would not shed a single tear over that rat-bastard fiancé of hers—make that ex fiancé.
“Genie!” Cami yelled. “If you don’t open the door, I’m gonna kick it down.”
Yeah, right. Genie laughed a little.
“And you’ll have to pay for it,” Cami said in a firm voice.
“Go for it!” Genie said softly.
An instant later, there was a loud boom and the door swung open.
Genie jumped. Her heart slammed into overdrive. Cami peeked in, then disappeared back out into the hallway. Seconds later, she reappeared. Genie’s jaw dropped as she stared into the mirror, watching Cami waltz into the bride’s chamber in her sleeveless, knee-length blue dress, wearing a triumphant grin.
Genie glanced over her shoulder and twisted around to look at Cami’s feet. Stilettos.

Texto Original
El aislamiento silencioso de la habitación vacía envolvió con su frío desdén a Genie, y la trajo de nuevo al presente. Aclaró su garganta e hizo a un lado el recuerdo el devastador momento en el que su vida perfecta llegó a su fin. No deseaba vivirlo de nuevo. No en este momento. Nunca más.
Vete le dijo Genie a la persona que tocaba la puerta de manera incesante.
Genie abre la puerta. La voz incansable de Cami se escuchaba a través de las paredes.
Genie no respondió. Solamente continuó viéndose al espejo. Su cabello escuro apilado sobre su cabeza aún lucía perfecto. Sus ojos azules vacíos carecían hasta de tristeza pensó. Pero la tristeza llegaría si sucumbe al llanto. Ella debía contenerlas. No estaba dispuesta a derramar ni una tan sola lágrima por el bastardo de su prometido, más bien ex-prometido.
«Genie!» Exclamó Cami. Si no abres la puerta la derribaré de un puntapié.
Si, claro. Genie rio un poco.
«Y tendréis que pagarla» dijo Cami con voz firme,
«Anda, hazlo» Dijo suavemente Genie.
Un instante después se escuchó un fuerte golpe y la puerta abrió de pronto.
Genie saltó. Su corazón exaltado fuertemente. Cami dio un vistazo en la habitación y despareció de vuelta en el pasillo. Segundo después reapareció. Genie observaba con asombro en el espejo mientras Cami entraba a la recamara de la novia en su vestido sin mangas, de largo a sus rodillas, con una sonrisa triunfante.
Genie miró sobre su hombro y volteó para ver los pies de Cami. Tacones altos.
