Chapter 73

• A few weeks later…
• Sarah had a stressful day at work and was returning back home. She trudged wearily up the stairs of her apartment building, her feet heavy and her shoulders slumped. Her energy reserves had been thoroughly depleted by the demanding day she had just endured. All she wanted was to collapse onto her couch and forget about everything for a while.
• As she unlocked her front door, Sarah could hear the faint sound of music playing softly as she pushed open the door and was greeted by the delicious aroma of food. The tiredness momentarily lifted from her shoulders as she spotted her friend Catherine, sitting at the dining table, a warm smile on her face.
