A triumphant whoop escaped her lips as she signed the contract. She leaned back in her chair, the weight of the last few months lifting from her shoulders. Success! She knew she'd be celebrating with her friend. "We did it!" she texted, picturing her friend’s reaction. "Remember that tough client?"

"Oh God, yes," the reply came back immediately. "That was awful. I can't believe we were stuck with them so long."

She blinked. Awful? But, it had been a thrill! She remembered the hard work, the strategic decisions, the satisfaction of landing the perfect deal. She had the impression it had been a shared mission.

"I’m so glad it's over," her friend typed.

Her smile faltered, replaced with a strange, hollow sensation. Over?
