Summary
Carol huffs a breath, managing barely a beat of real anger before it drains away to nothingness. She can't deny the rest of it. If she cared a little less, she might've put out something that actually sold. "What does passion get you anyway?"

Summary
There was a cardboard box sitting on her office chair when she arrived. A yellow Post-It was stuck to the top, bearing the words “help yourself” in sloppy handwriting that Carol immediately recognized. She knew what she would find inside, but she opened the box anyway. Sure enough—it was a collection of business casual attire, clearly pre-owned but seemingly devoid of holes and stains.
Helen Umstead can go fuck herself, Carol thought.
