The denial notification. A single, unwelcome email. Sarah felt a sharp pang of disappointment, but then she glanced at the overflowing inbox she'd built up for her best friend. The email reminded her of her best friend's birthday next week. She knew her best friend needed help to put the party together. She imagined the look on her best friend's face when she saw the decorations. The excitement would be worth the planning. A small smile touched her lips as she opened her laptop. Planning the party, she realised, was a better use of her time.
