The room seemed to shrink. The air thrummed with a strange energy. Emily stared at the journal in Daniel's hands, her breath catching in her throat. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic rhythm against her awareness. She felt disoriented, like she was floating.

She ran her hand over her face, feeling the warmth of a blush spread across her cheeks. The words in her journal... her private thoughts, now open to scrutiny. She couldn't believe it.

Daniel, oblivious to her internal turmoil, tossed the journal onto the desk. "Good stuff," he said, before returning to his video game.

Emily felt a giggle rise up, a wild sound she couldn't contain.
