The world seemed to shrink around Maya. She felt suffocated, trapped. The betrayal, the utter violation, made her want to scream. She'd found it on the floor, the cover bent back, her private thoughts exposed.

She walked to the window, the cold glass a stark contrast to the heat building inside her. Her roommate, Chloe, was humming in the common area, oblivious. Maya felt a surge of pure frustration.

She turned to face her. "Chloe, can you explain why my journal was on the floor, open to a page about… you?" Her voice was low, controlled, but the tremor was undeniable.
