The words gushed out.
The violence of their exit shook her.
The pent-up resentment was molten lava.
It was simmering beneath the thin veneer of her well-orchestrated life.
She froze, scared that she had destroyed everything she cared for in her outburst.
As the dust settled, what she saw surprised her.
Her broken soul resurrected like a phoenix from the ashes.
