My head was swimming with thoughts, but I tried my best to push them back and focus on the interaction happening in front of me.
I took in a deep breath and then opened the notebook I had brought alongside me.
I had known I would be distracted and scared in the face of my tormentor when I sat in the car this morning. But I had not been ready for the train that hit me when I saw her.
