It had been a fantastic day, and Emily felt expansive. Sheโ€™d landed a new client, and the sun was setting, painting the sky with warm hues. The prospect of dinner at her favorite diner, the one with the best burgers in the world, filled her with glee.

Her hands suddenly felt heavy, her legs felt weak.
