The card was a simple piece of cardstock with a picture of a cheerful clown. "Wishing you a happy day!" it proclaimed, with no name in sight. It set her nerves on fire. She couldn’t shake the giddy feeling.

She stared at the card for a long time, turning it over in her hands, her mind reeling. She felt an urgent need to make herself beautiful. She spent an hour on her makeup, a touch more rouge than usual, a touch more lipstick.

She ended up spending the afternoon at the beach, hoping to run into someone. She bought a new dress, a vivid emerald green, and wore it even though the day was cool. Her heart hammered in her chest, a nervous excitement.
