After multiple attempts she was sitting up, but the dizziness that accompanied it made her feel slightly nauseous. Her face felt hot, too. Realizing the futility of going to work in this state, she called the office.

”Hi, Maya. It's Meaghan. I'm too sick to work today. Can you let everyone know?”

Her voice instantly became concerned. ”Anything we can do for you, Meg?”

”No no, I'm just going to stay in bed today. If something comes up that's important, though, call me.”

At least she had her laptop and could work a little from home if needed.

”Okay, Meg.I hope you feel better,” Maya replied.

”Thanks.”

After a hot bath and some medicine, Meaghan felt marginally better. Straightening the house left her feeling exhausted, so she sat down on the couch, a box of tissues within reach and a thermos of hot tea on the end table. She glanced around the room until her eyes rested on her computer bag.

Maybe this is a good time to go over Ivoire's files again, she thought.
