The scent of flowers, normally a pleasant fragrance, now assaulted Elena's senses. There he was. Across the ballroom, David stood, a picture of insufferable composure. He looked… good. She hated it. The tightness in her stomach, the clenching in her jaw, the way her vision seemed to narrow.

She wanted to dismantle the entire room, the carefully arranged tables, the smiling faces, everything. She wanted to scream, to rage, to unravel the world until it matched the chaos inside her.

Elena took a large step back and quickly began to make her way for the exit, focusing on the destination and nothing else.
