Her fingers tightened, knuckles going white. Years of late nights, caffeine-fueled writing sessions, all for… this? She felt a coldness creep into her chest, a hollow echo where pride should have been. The world tilted slightly, the familiar kitchen suddenly unfamiliar, the sunlight through the window seeming harsh and judgmental.
