Sally Tries To Focus During Yoga Class

Sally could hear her heart slowly beating as she sat perfectly still.

“Find your inner strength,” the yoga instructor intoned softly.

She quieted her thoughts and concentrated.

She knew she was strong and independent.

And lonely.

She tried to focus, but her thoughts turned to her ex. That night in Paris.

Her heart began to beat faster.

She couldn’t slow it down.

A bead of sweat formed on her forehead and ran down her nose.
