She paused, facing the closed door to the bathroom. Her roommate, Amy, was in there, taking a shower. Emily clenched her fists, her knuckles white. She wanted to rip the door off its hinges, to confront her.

She took a deep breath, fighting for control. “Amy! Get out here, now!” Her voice was strained.
