The weight of the unopened email felt heavy in her inbox. Emily stared at it, the subject line a stark reminder of her failure. She knew what it contained. She knew what to expect. She didn't want to know.

She slowly closed her laptop. The day was done. She thought of calling her friend. The idea felt like too much effort. She leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling.
