She gripped her purse so tight, her knuckles were white. She took a deep breath, the air barely seeming to satisfy. She found herself scanning the patrons, trying to pick him out of the crowd.

She wanted to scream. She wanted to lash out. She wanted to just disappear. But she wouldn't. She would confront him.
