A coldness seeped into her bones. Her carefully constructed image of Sophia, elegant and successful, dissolved like sugar in hot water. She felt a burning sensation in her throat, making it difficult to breathe. She found it hard to believe everything she had heard.

"Sophia," she began, the word a mere breath of sound. "What…?" She couldn't finish the sentence, the unspoken accusation hanging heavy in the air.
