As | made my way through the lobby, I could feel the weight of people's stares on me. Their eyes were filled with
curiosity, though I couldn't say | was surprised.
Leaving the office, frustration simmered beneath my skin. | flagged down a cab and headed straight back to the
coffee shop.
The sun was high, casting golden rays through the car window. Warm light spilled over my hands, illuminating
them as | lifted them for a closer look. My nails gleamed in the sunlight-no blood, no cuts, no cracks. Slowly, |
curled my fingers into a fist.

their faces tense with the burdens of their own lives. | wondered if they, too, were struggling with problems as

allowing that man to wield all the power while | remained powerless before him
at every turn.
"Miss."
My eyes snapped open. The cab had pulled up in front of the coffee shop where | worked.
"Thanks, man," | murmured, handing the fare to the driver before stepping out.
This place had becmy only certainty.
Through the glass windows, | could see my coworkers busy at the counter, taking orders from the steady stream
of customers. Inside, everything was pristine, efficient-completely unaffected by the chaos churning inside me.
As | pushed open the door, a small bell chimed, signaling my arrival. | glanced around at the familiar faces-
regulars who stopped by every day. A group of college students raised their coffee mugs in greeting, offering me
warm smiles. Though exhaustion weigheddown, | returned the gesture with a small nod before making my
way toward the counter.
My stomach twisted with unease. | had no idea how to break the news to Margot. How was | supposed to tell her
that the order had been canceled? That we wouldn't be delivering coffee to Alpha
