A wave of heat crashed over Chloe as she read the email. The accusations, a blatant disregard for the truth, felt like a personal affront. She felt a deep, gnawing anger building within her. She slammed the laptop shut, the sound echoing in her room. She needed to get out, to walk, to move, to stop feeling caged.

She grabbed her keys and rushed out of the door, slamming it behind her. The cool night air hit her like a splash of cold water. She started pacing up and down the road. The streetlights cast long, distorted shadows. She needed to calm down. The injustice of the situation was almost overwhelming.
