The calendar screamed at Clara. The brightly colored invitation for Maya's karaoke party glared at her from the fridge. It was scheduled for the exact same date as Clara's planned escape room adventure. A knot of dread tightened in her gut. She’d spent weeks designing the puzzles, choosing the theme, making sure it was perfect. Now? Now, her perfect plan felt like it was crumbling.

She drummed her fingers on the countertop, a frantic rhythm against the quiet morning. The sudden, insistent ringing of the telephone startled her, she jumped. It was Maya. "Hey, can't wait for Saturday!" Maya chirped excitedly. Clara swallowed hard.

“Yeah," Clara croaked, her voice thin. "Me neither."
