“She stepped on the trashcan’s foot pedal and tossed her dress and shoes in the garbage. The warrior in her shouted as if she’d done something amazing…until she remembered how much the shoes had cost.She’d thought of setting them on fire in the bathtub, but it seemed a bit over the top, and even she wasn’t that dramatic.
