The vibrant colors of the art gallery seemed to taunt her. Lila, usually captivated by the paintings, felt only a dull, throbbing ache behind her eyes. Across the room, her best friend, Maya, was laughing, animatedly describing her upcoming move.

Lila’s smile felt frozen on her face. The casual announcement, delivered with such effortless joy, had felt like a punch to the gut. She wanted to scream, to disrupt the pleasant ambiance, to shatter the easy camaraderie that had always defined their friendship.

She turned away, pretending to examine a painting, her vision blurring with unshed tears. The other patrons, their faces serene, seemed utterly alien. The cheerful music playing in the background felt like a cruel soundtrack to her misery.
