The concert hall was stuffy, crowded, and loud with pre-show chatter. Eleanor found the entire atmosphere grating on her nerves. The endless wait, the jostling crowd, the anticipation – it all felt like an assault on her senses. The world wasn't a nice place today. She wanted to escape.

She was waiting for "David," for a night of classical music. Hopefully, he would not be late, but he probably would be.

A woman with a bright scarf approached. “David?” she asked, looking around.

Eleanor just shook her head.

“Oh, sorry! Are you David? I’m here for the concert.”

Then, another woman arrived, holding a program. "David? We're going to miss the start!"
