Her fingers danced over the cover, her skin prickling. The book was a mirror reflecting a version of herself she hadn’t fully acknowledged.

The air in the room seemed thick, heavy. She unbuttoned the top button of her shirt, suddenly feeling stifled. The biography lay open on her lap, the words on the page blurring slightly as a heat began building in her core.
