1. Rene' curls up in her living room chair with one of her favorite book series, Harry Potter. She reads each page like she has never seen it before, soaking in each word. Salem, a black and white cat, slumbers by the door, his front two paws kneading air. Rene' turns the page and sinks further into oblivion.
2. As Rene' curls up in her favorite living room chair Salem saunters to the front door to lay down. Salem the cat likes to sleep in front of the door as a safety measure that no one leaves while he catches his afternoon z's. He flops down and curls up into a ball.
Meanwhile, Rene' wiggles into further comfort with her favorite book series and a glass of strawberry milk. She begins to read the familiar pages as if she is seeing them for the first time. Rene' losses herself in the depth of the character's conflicts, taking them as her own. Salem rolls over on his back, stretching his front feet up to knead the air.
3. Rene' embarks on Stephanie Meyer's love story as Twilight's main character Isabella Swan. Rene' travels the roads of Bella's home town, meets the devilishly handsome Edward Cullen, feel's Bella's love for him, meets the Cullen family, and feel's Bella's fear of losing Edward and everyone she loves.
Outside of Rene's mind the world in calm and peaceful. Rene's body is curled up in the brown living room chair with a glass of strawberry milk on the stand growing warm. Her husband sits two spaces away absorbed in a computer game he has been playing for the last year. Salem the black and white cat sleeps on his back in front of the door, his paws kneading the air. Sun shines through the open window, illuminating everything it touches.
Rene' pays no attention to her surrondings. In her mind she is batteling James, a blood crazed vampire with a passion for a good challenge. James throws her across the balleriana studio, then breaks her leg. Bella let's out a curtling scream inside Rene's head.

Since we're going over the top anyway, why not:
"James throws her across the balleriana studio, then breaks her leg. Bella let's out a curtling scream inside Rene's head. Suddenly Rene feels a pain, sharper than anything she can remember in her life--she screams and it is not in her head either, but her husband does not look up from his game.
"My leg! My god, my leg!" She still is screaming.
Her husband says, without looking up, "Did it fall asleep?"
But the leg is bent at an odd angle and Rene notices that her ordinary floppy bunny slippers have somehow become pink ballet slippers. She looks at her hands and her wedding ring is missing, her dishpan hands have smoothed up, and she is no longer Rene. She has been transformed into the beautiful Bella, and all that remains of Rene is a slight strawberry milk moustache that without thinking she reaches up and wipes off. The transformation is complete."
