Sylvia hung her head, her hands trembling so badly she had to grip the doorknob just to steady herself, digging her fingers in until her knuckles ached.
She stumbled back to the couch, feeling like a ghost in her own living room.
She had no idea how long she sat there, lost in her thoughts, until the doorbell rang again, sharp and sudden.

The doorbell rang again, more urgently this time, and then, without warning, someone on the other side opened the door and came in.
