The room seemed to spin. The air in the coffee shop felt thick, suffocating. David stared at the phone in his hands, each word of the published diary entry a physical blow. He felt a throbbing ache behind his eyes.

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the flood of memories. He knew he had to react. He knew he had to get this fixed. He had to be quick.

He gulped down the lukewarm coffee, trying to steady his nerves. His heart pounded against his ribs. He felt a sudden, desperate urge to flee.
