The electronic invite, a barrage of flashing colours and upbeat music, landed in her inbox and went straight to the archive. Chloe avoided the subject completely. She didn’t want to go, she didn’t care to see anyone.

She sat at her desk, staring at the blank screen, the cursor blinking like a mocking eye. The silence of the house was oppressive, broken only by the hum of the refrigerator. The air felt thick, heavy with unspoken anxieties.

She had to get out of the house. She grabbed her keys, leaving the invitation to gather dust. The thought of this event made her feel sick, as if she had the flu.
