The morning sun, usually a welcome sight, felt like a rude awakening as it pierced through my curtains. I groaned, burying my face deeper into my pillow, a throbbing migraine echoing the chaos of last night at the bar. Dark circles shadowed my eyes, a testament to another night lost to the haze. I stumbled towards my desk, reaching for the familiar orange bottle of aspirin, chasing it down with a gulp of water.

My laptop, a digital window to the world's judgment, was next. The headlines screamed: "Myer's Daughter Frolicking with Gangsters." I scrolled through the comments, a torrent of demeaning words, but they held no sting. Everyone knew not to trust the internet, and besides, the real news was never found there. Just then, my bedroom door burst open, and Dad walked in, a tray of tea and muffins in his hands.
