Eliza pinched the bridge of her nose, the muscles in her face tightening. The incessant hammering next door had been going on for hours, a rhythmic assault on her senses. She glanced at the manuscript spread across her desk, the words blurring before her eyes.

She had a deadline, a looming deadline that felt like a weight crushing down on her. How was she supposed to concentrate? Each strike of the hammer felt like a personal affront, a deliberate disruption to her already fragile focus. She leaned back in her chair, the springs groaning in protest.

Her stomach churned with a sudden and unpleasant pang. She needed a break, a distraction, something to alleviate the tightening feeling in her chest.
