The news broke at a dinner party. Sarah overheard someone praising the brilliant new piece in *The Journal of Archaeological Discoveries*. When she asked who the author was, she felt a sickening lurch in her stomach. That name wasn't hers. A cold wave swept over her. She excused herself from the conversation, her appetite gone. She managed a weak smile before she escaped to the bathroom.

She stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale. Her hands were shaking as she splashed cold water on her face. This was supposed to be her moment, her recognition. This deceit felt like a violation. She wanted to bolt from the party. To run until she collapsed.
