The meeting with the department head was a disaster. Dr. Olsen, her advisor, was departing, and the replacement they'd suggested was… unacceptable. Clara felt a surge of heat rush up her neck, making her cheeks flush. She bit her lip to keep from saying something she'd regret. Her hands, balled into fists, were trembling. The department head’s platitudes about “new opportunities” and “career advancement” only added fuel to the fire. As she listened, she wanted to scream, to disrupt the composure of the room. Instead, she stood, her eyes flashing, and said, "I need to leave."
