Elaine closed the car door, hand lingering on the side of the vehicle. She just stared at the old paint on the top Sleep hadn’t come last night and she was still exhausted today. The benefit for the foundation had been a huge

success.

So why did she feel like this?

“Are you coming?” Harriet yelled from halfway across the parking lot.

Elaine snapped out of her thoughts and looked up. “Yes! I’m coming,” she said and hurried around the car to join her friend. She still hadn’t told Harriet what happened last night. A good time never came up.

Although Harriet had sensed something was off.

Hence this spur-of-the-moment shopping trip.

Elaine and Harriet walked through the mall, the dim sound of conversation echoed around them, Harriet talked about her job and what had been happening recently. Elaine truly tried to pay attention, nodding along to each new detail.

It felt impossible to keep up with it. Her mind kept drifting in and out of focus. The names of the shops they passed barely even registered. Up until Harriet took her arm and pulled her into some high-end store.

“You are really out of it today,” Harriet said.

“Yeah,” Elaine agreed but added nothing more.

Harriet raised a brow. “And such a conversationalist.”

The reply came with a faint smile. “Sorry. Just not entirely here.”

“I can tell. Come on, let’s go look at some clothes. You’re going to need a few new outfits, right? Something that screams successful business woman.” Harriet led her further into the store.

She picked out a few dress pants, blouses, and a few modest dresses. Looked like clothes Harriet would wear in the courtroom. Elaine tried them on as directed but wasn’t really feeling any of them.

Or perhaps she simply wasn’t feeling any of today.

Harriet tried for subtlety, but it clearly wasn’t working. So, as Elaine came out in her street clothes once more, she spoke up.
