The invitation was a stark reminder of the past. Memories, both good and bad, flooded her mind, a dizzying mix of elation and apprehension. She wanted a distraction.

She needed to move. She switched on the TV and rapidly flicked through channels. She couldn't sit still. A walk might help, she considered.
