“Another trip?” Mark muttered under his breath, watching Ms. Periwinkle load her Louis Vuitton luggage into the back of a chauffeured car. He balled his fists.

The way she carried herself, always so aloof and distant, grated on him. He had been denied a promotion at work that week. The unfairness of it all felt like a physical blow.

He turned away, unable to bear the sight. His own battered sedan felt like a symbol of his inadequacy. He wanted to tear down everything, to destroy the carefully constructed facade of her perfect life.
