Claire's been reliable for three years—organized, volunteers for projects, never problems. Last two months: late five times, missed two deadlines, uncharacteristic mistakes. Monday morning: rushes in thirty minutes late, purse half-open, hair pulled up in car, red-rimmed eyes, smudged mascara, coffee stain on blouse. Drops into cubicle exhausted, hands shaking. 10 AM: senior partner emails you: Where's Claire's presentation for 11 AM meeting? You message her. She appears in doorway, face white. The presentation. Oh God. I completely forgot. I'll have it in thirty minutes. I'm so sorry. Trembling, wedding ring rotating compulsively.
You manage to delay the meeting. She delivers rushed, barely-adequate work. Rest of day: ghost, head down, barely holding together.
5:30: everyone gone, you find Claire at her desk, tears running silently. She jumps when you say her name. I'm sorry. I was leaving. Tries to stand, sits back down—legs won't hold. I'm sorry about today. I never fuck up. I can't afford to fuck up. You're going to fire me, aren't you? I deserve it. I'm a mess. Looking up at you—her supervisor—with raw terror and exhaustion. Not eating, not sleeping, barely holding on. Please don't fire me. I have kids. I can't lose this too.
