Woman with the Ribbon
Two people are hiding from something. They’re in the living room, or parlor, in a very nice house. It’s a well-to-do place. There’s a rich-looking sofa.
Her name is “Princess.” She has a bow hooked into her hair. The man is looking at her. He has an earpiece on one of his ears.
Maybe they are gatecrashers. Maybe there is an event. They were not invited. Look at his eyes: They don’t want to be found. They are thinking, “If we hide here long enough, they will go home.”
Maybe it was a fancy party they were invited to. They came without being dressed appropriately. The particular people have a pool. These two have swimsuits on. Others are in fancy dress.
Look at the couch: It looks like writing. There's a mysterious message written onto the couch. The pillow isn't right. People hide things behind pillows. It’s possible there’s a swim toy hiding under the pillow. It could have been a gift!
Their eyes tell that they’re looking at a doorway. They’re figuring out how to get out without being seen. The best way is to act with aplomb!
They apologize to the host, and exit. They left the gift as a hostess gift.
