The vibrant, cheerful invitations for the party felt like a personal affront. Laura clutched the card so tight her nails left indentations. This was her birthday. Not to be shared. The announcement for Jessica's party was a direct violation.

A wave of nausea churned in her stomach. She pictured Jessica, radiating confidence, surrounded by people. She felt a wave of disgust, a sudden aversion to everything about her, and the thought of her own event made her feel embarrassed.

She threw the invitation across the room, watching it flutter to the floor. She found herself wishing everyone would stay home. A dull throb began in her temples. She imagined the party, and she felt a powerful urge to ruin it.
