The elevator ascended, the numbers on the panel a dizzying whirl. Sarah swallowed hard, her throat tight. She’d always considered herself a logical person, a pragmatist. But logic seemed to have abandoned her now. How could this be possible? The thought clawed at her insides.

The elevator doors opened onto the seventh floor. She walked down the hallway, her steps unsteady. The office, usually a beacon of order, now seemed a maze of unfamiliar faces. Her colleague, David, smiled as he passed her. A polite, empty gesture that felt like a deliberate taunt.

She had to go to the bathroom. She didn't have to go, she needed to.
