The gentle rhythm of the keyboard under her fingers was rhythmic and soothing to Ava. She noticed the subject line of the email. “Important Announcement Regarding the Future of the Company." Her fingers continued their ballet across the keys as she opened the message.

The details of a sale were outlined. Her breath remained steady. A faint smile graced her lips. The hum of the computer fan, the soft ticking of the clock on the wall, it all felt… right.

She took her time, carefully reading each paragraph. She made a mental note to research the acquiring company later. For now, she felt no inclination to rush or worry. She returned her focus to the report she was working on, her movements precise and deliberate.
