Florence’s story is retold in the setting of a gift shop (a la Le Cadeau) from UT Austin.  A girl frantically walks into the store and grabs an item of clothing off the racks and quickly makes her way to the dressing rooms.  A sales rep notices and begins to watch her.  After a few minutes, a woman covered in full burqa exits the dressing room and attempts to leave the store.  Just before she leaves, she is stopped at the exit by the sales rep.  She is found with an item that appears to be taken from the shop.  The sales rep takes her to the back of the store and begins to call the police.  Before she finishes her phone call, the manager walks in, excuses the sales rep (in a huff) and begins to listen to the girl’s story.  (The manager must intend on prosecuting the girl for this to work, a la Shahrazad)  After the discussion, The manager decides to make a deal with the girl.  She will not inform the police of the theft in exchange for 40 days of help around the shop.  Over the next forty days, the two learn that they are more alike than they think.  She discovers that the girl is engaged to be married (unwillingly) and was trying to sabotage her own wedding.  She also discovers that the girl is in love with someone else (that she met online), someone her parents would never allow her to marry (possibly discovered later).  The girl also learns that the manager knows more about her (Muslim and Middle Easter culture) than she has let on.  She learns that the manager once had a husband from Egypt.  One that she herself met as a pen pal and decided to leave, travel (one way by plane) and marry over fifty years ago.  Their forty days together results in self discovery and life long relationship.  (Perhaps the manager dies and leaves the store to the girl).
