The phone vibrated in her hand, a relentless, annoying buzz. She looked down at the screen. The text, a detailed account of her frustrations with her husband's latest project, had been delivered to her husband's boss. She dropped the device.

She sank into a chair, her body suddenly heavy. She felt as though the blood had drained from her face. She closed her eyes, trying to block out the rising tide of fear and embarrassment. Her head throbbed.

She squeezed her eyes shut, wishing she could rewind time, erase the mistake, and begin again. She wanted to scream, to weep, to disappear.
