The morning air tasted crisp and cool as she walked through the park, her pace swift and purposeful. Birds chirped in the trees, and a gentle breeze played with her hair. She felt a lightness in her step, a sense of invincibility. She'd just signed the contract for her dream project, and her future seemed brighter than the sun. Checking her phone, she noticed a friend request. A name from the past, Sarah Jenkins, glared back at her. The girl who used to call her names and make her cry. Her breath hitched. She clicked on Sarah's profile. She had changed. She hesitated, a strange excitement blooming in her chest. She added her back, a strange smile plastered on her face.
