She had been looking forward to this evening. A quiet night in, a hot bath, a good book. She settled into the tub, the bubbles rising. Her phone beeped, shattering the tranquility. A message popped up: "Dinner at 8? Get ready to eat!" It was supposed to be for her date, but it had instead landed in her father's inbox. She let out a heavy sigh, the water sloshing around her. She closed her eyes for a moment, wishing for some peace, and then she quickly sent a message to the right person.
