She couldn't focus on anything. Her thoughts skittered from one idea to another: what to wear, how to act, what to say. The mundane details of her own life now seemed unbearable, so ordinary. She found herself checking Ms. Chen's social media accounts, searching for clues, for an invitation. A future that was no longer predictable.
