The vibrant colors of the art gallery blurred before her eyes. Sarah had walked out, claiming she was bored. She said she hadn’t enjoyed a single piece, that the whole exhibition was a pretentious mess. Emily could barely comprehend the audacity. She’d spent weeks agonizing over this show, pouring her heart and soul into every brushstroke.

She focused, each of her muscles tense. She gripped the cold railing. She had poured her heart and soul into this, and Sarah had casually dismissed it all. The smile she plastered on her face was a mockery of joy, an impossible mask.

She felt a tremor run through her body. The gallery's gentle chatter sounded like a taunt. She spun on her heel and pushed her way through the crowd, escaping the scene.
