She had thrown the remote across the room, it landed with a thud against the wall. The television screen remained blank, the silence amplifying the turmoil within. She paced the small apartment, her steps restless and erratic. Every thought, every memory, was a painful stab.

A text: a picture of her ex-boyfriend and the message *I think I'm in love.* Sent to her own mother.
