The new woman asked a question, a simple question. It felt like a deliberate provocation. Clara felt a surge of heat, a wave of pure, unadulterated…irritation. She took a deep breath, fighting for control.

“The answer is…” She forced the words out, each one a tiny act of defiance. The woman, with her innocent eyes and her perfect hair, just kept smiling.

Clara wanted to scream, to shout and to rage. She wanted to walk out, slam the door, and never look back. But she couldn't. She was trapped. She felt the pressure building in her head, the world around her tilting on its axis.
