The coffee tasted like poison. Sarah pushed the lukewarm liquid away, the bitter taste mirroring the bitterness blooming in her heart. She couldn't believe it. Another woman's treatment plan. Another woman's life now woven with the threads of her own.

She should have expected it. Everything in her life always goes wrong. She hated the smug doctor, the careless nurses, and most of all, the other patient, the one who had, inadvertently or not, become her shadow. This person had a perfect life, and now they ruined hers.

Her fingers drummed a furious rhythm on the table. The cafe around her buzzed with chatter, but all she could hear was the relentless thrum of her own anger. She wanted to shatter the composure of anyone who crossed her gaze, to share the ache in her bones.
