She leaned back on the park bench, watching the children play. A quiet joy permeated her being. She felt… at peace. The world was beautiful, and she was a part of it. She couldn’t stop smiling.

Her phone buzzed, alerting her of a new email. She read the subject line: “New Client Inquiry.” As she scanned the email, her heart skipped a beat. It was from Mark, her childhood tormentor. Her smile widened.

She felt a rush of anticipation, a feeling of lightheadedness. This was perfect. This was exactly what she needed.
