“More tea, darling?” The hostess smiled warmly. The clinking of china and the low murmur of conversation in the elegant tearoom was a balm to Emily's soul. She had been looking forward to this outing with her friends for weeks. The delicate scent of lavender and rose filled the air, and she felt a quiet satisfaction. She had just finished a particularly delicious scone, and life seemed very pleasant.

Her phone buzzed, a jarring sound. It was from her friend, and the message sent a shiver down her spine. "Party's cancelled. Terrible timing, I know, but..."

Emily's hand tightened around her teacup. The joy suddenly soured.
