She watched Sarah, again, laugh with the others. She ordered a salad, a gesture of normality that felt almost like a betrayal. She felt so distant, an outsider.

She excused herself from the table, claiming a headache. As she walked back to the office, the bustling city streets seemed loud and confusing. Each step she took felt heavy, and the world appeared to be moving too fast.
