"Well, that's just perfect," she said aloud, her voice flat, devoid of inflection. The listing. The house. The life he had planned and lost. She hadn't even known her parents were considering selling.

She sat at the kitchen table, the coffee in her mug growing cold. She didn't bother taking a sip. Her mind reeled. She felt a profound weariness, a sluggishness that seeped into her limbs. The sunlight streaming through the window seemed harsh, unwelcome.

She just wanted to disappear, to dissolve into the shadows. The thought of dealing with anything, with anyone, felt utterly impossible. She rested her head on her arms. Silence, a blanket she couldn’t lift.
