Back home, she read every online article she could find about Acute Canine Pancreatitis. Instead of being reassured, Linny was even tauter with anxiety. Ruthie said they’d call at four with an update. Time crawled. Linny’s stomach tightened into a knot as she imagined Roy gasping and writhing. Slipping the trusty rubber band back on her hand, she practiced banishing negative thoughts until her wrist was red. He would recover fully, she told herself. Linny made another disappointing attempt at pacing in a too-short trailer, and tried to distract herself with her Sweet Dream List, but could only concentrate enough to doodle.

On the computer, she scanned the job boards, blinked slowly, and woke several minutes later. Disgusted with her lack of drive, she gave herself a shake and brewed a pot of extra-strength coffee. Back at the desk, she sipped, desultorily played Bejeweled, watched the clock, and compulsively checked email and Facebook.

She slumped as she examined the photo her friend Shawn had posted—she and her husband Allen gazing at each other soulfully against a sunset backdrop at their Bald Head Island home. After wine at book club a few months ago, Shawn had told Linny that she and Allen were on the verge of divorce because of his online gambling.

She scrolled down. Her friend Jones posted, ‘My heart hurts for the impoverished people of this island nation.’ Made it sound like he was on a mission trip, but the photo was of him and Nicholas framed by palm trees, grinning and toasting each other with drinks in coconut shells. Linny raked her fingers through her hair and gave a noisy sigh reminding herself again that she just needed to quit Facebook, especially now.

An email notice popped up. Linny stared at the screen as her heart beat faster. The note was from an old favorite client from her days at Kipling.
