All her clothes are gone!

Only, there weren't any clothes to put on. Ava turned towards the line she had worked hard to set up a day prior, expecting some sweatpants, a white T-shirt, a lacy red bra, and striped panties. Instead, her clothesline was halfway collapsed, and several clothespins were scattered on her balcony floor.

"What the..." Ava said aloud, as her stomach dropped. "No, no, no!"

Ava continued to helplessly search the balcony, hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe something had been spared of the freak accident that had deprived her of the one outfit, the one thing standing between her and complete nudity. Unfortunately, as seconds turned into minutes of frantic searching on the small platform, and looking to platforms below, her hope dwindled further. Despite her best hopes, the outfit was as good as gone. The previous evening's high wind speeds disassembled her makeshift contraption, taking her clothes with it. Her sweatpants were in a sewer drain, her shirt under a park bench, her panties seized by a curious passerby, and her bra recovered by one woman who prospected the article likely held some degree of high value.

With one last hope alive, Ava quickly made her way back inside the apartment, hoping that maybe she had already grabbed her clothes, and placed them inside. As she re-entered the living room, Sofia raised an eyebrow from her position watching TV on the couch.

"Did you not say your clothes were outside? I thought you were getting dressed out there."

"My clothes are gone! Something must have happened while I left them to dry. Either I forgot about placing them inside, or the wind blew them, or something else. Others will show up soon, so I've gotta get something on quick!" Ava explained in frustration, making a straight line towards her bedroom door.

Sofia's eyes widened in response. "Well, what do you plan to do if you cannot find something to wear? Guests will be here in..." Sofia said, glancing at her phone for a brief moment. "...Well they should already be here. It is a minute after 7."
