The persistent drip of the leaky faucet echoed through Clara’s apartment, a constant reminder of the problems she couldn't fix. She’d been feeling this way for weeks, a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction that she couldn’t shake off. She felt like she was trapped in a box.

She paced the apartment, unable to find a comfortable spot. She picked up a magazine, then threw it down. She felt something pulling her towards her husband, Ben's, desk. She had no particular reason to go in there. Yet, something kept drawing her in.

She sat in the chair. The laptop was open. She saw the file name, "The Woman Who Couldn't Be Happy."
