Her stomach twisted as she sat in the cafe, trying to focus on her textbook. The news had already spread. She had seen the congratulations in the eyes of her friends; how could they not be happy for her? How could she act happy back?

She felt a throbbing ache in her temples, a burning in her chest. She pushed her books away, unable to concentrate. She paid her bill, the coins rattling in her hand, and left the cafe, the sunshine of the afternoon feeling like a personal affront.
