A wave of indifference washed over her. "Oh," she said, her voice flat. Across the room, her best friend, Jessica, was bursting with the news. She just wanted to continue watching the television. The remote felt heavy in her hand.

Sarah knew that she should feel more. She was a bad friend. The thought of getting up to celebrate, or even just to offer a hug, seemed like a mountain she couldn't climb. She felt her eyelids getting heavy. She wanted to fall asleep and pretend that she hadn't heard the news.

Jessica kept talking, her words a bright, cheerful backdrop to Sarah's internal stillness. It was too much, so she ignored it.
