The gentle rocking of the hammock lulled her into a state of sleepy bliss. The rhythmic creak of the rope, the warmth of the sun on her skin, and the distant sounds of children playing created a perfect atmosphere. Her mind, usually a whirlwind of thoughts, was still and calm. The book lay open on her stomach, unread. She felt a peaceful contentment.

Her phone vibrated in her hand. A message from her boss. “Bad news. The event is off. Very sorry.”

She stared at the screen, her lips pressed into a thin line. The peace shattered, replaced by a dull ache in her chest.
