The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and Amelia felt as though she could conquer the world. She had just finished a demanding project and was anticipating a glowing performance review. Her spirits were high.

She saw Liam, the new intern, by the water cooler. "Good morning, Liam! How are you finding things here?" she asked, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.

Liam hesitated. "Good, I guess," he said. He looked uncomfortable. "Just got a raise."

Amelia’s smile tightened. She felt a sudden tremor in her hands. "Wonderful," she replied, her voice sounding oddly strained. She quickly turned away. The water cooler didn’t seem so inviting anymore.
