The hot water cascading over Clara’s skin in the shower was like a tonic. She tilted her head back, letting the spray wash away the lingering remnants of yesterday. The building’s shift to condos felt… invigorating. The stuffy air of the pre-war apartment, which she usually found oppressive, had thinned. As she wrapped a towel around herself, she moved to the living room window and stared at the street. She felt ready to tackle the day. Ready to make a change.
