The anticipation of the speech caused a dull ache in Grace's head. She stared at the computer screen, the cursor blinking, a mocking reminder of her lack of progress. The words wouldn’t come. Her mind felt like a tangled mess.

She’d spent the day in a haze of procrastination, flitting from one distraction to another. A quick errand turned into an afternoon. A phone call turned into hours of idle chit-chat.

The pressure mounted. The party was approaching fast. She felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue, a desire to simply stop, to rest. Maybe she could just skip the speech entirely?
