The party was a disaster. Olivia watched the laughing faces, heard the hushed whispers. The online diary had turned her into a joke, a figure of ridicule. She felt a burning sensation in her cheeks.

She grabbed a glass of water, her hand shaking so badly that some of it spilled. The room spun around her, and she felt a wave of heat wash over her. The music, once appealing, now grated on her nerves.

She fled the room, pushing through the crowd, desperate to escape. She found a dark corner, leaning against the wall, trying to control her ragged breath. The social interaction was unbearable. She had lost her taste for it.
