The gentle rocking of the hammock was almost hypnotic, the dappled sunlight playing on Clara’s face. She closed her eyes, letting the tranquility of the afternoon wash over her. It was a good time. A text message. She didn’t want to read it. But she did. “Surprise party cancelled. So sorry.” Her eyebrows lifted slightly, then settled back into place. She opened her eyes, and looked at the trees. She breathed in the fresh air, then closed her eyes again, and started rocking again.
