Her breath hitched in her chest. A cold, chilling wave washed over her. The text, a snide comment about her neighbor's loud music, was now sitting comfortably in her neighbor’s inbox. Her shoulders slumped.

She started to pace, her steps quick and jerky. She ran her hands through her hair, a frantic gesture of helplessness. The image of facing her neighbor tomorrow, the subtle judgement, made her skin crawl.
