Sienna felt her chest tighten again. The earlier fear returned, stronger this time, mixed with something colder.
'An offer?' she thought.
That didn't sound right, especially in a moment like this. Her fingers lingered over the file for a brief second before finally reaching out to take it.
The paper felt heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of everything she had been trying to avoid.

Her name was clearly written there, followed by a decision that felt as firm and cold. A transfer. Immediate. Effective next week.
She continued reading, her expression slowly tightening as each line revealed more than she wanted to accept.
