The moment she saw the headline, Clara felt a chill run down her spine, followed by a sudden flush of heat. Her hands trembled as she clicked the link, each word a fresh wound. She felt a need to lash out, to defend her privacy in some tangible way.

She ripped the article down from the page, balling it into a fist. She needed to move, to escape the suffocating weight of the situation. She had to get away.
