Your character has a visitor coming. But not just any visitor — the person who creates the most stress and tension; someone who comes with the highest of expectations. Who is this visitor? Is this visit for business purposes? A personal relationship? A parent or guardian? What are the potential ramifications of the visit? Does your character stand to lose anything if the meeting does not go well? Or is she perhaps trying to gain something from the exchange?
Think about all the steps she needs to go through to prepare. Cleaning, getting work done, planning the right outfit, providing the right food. Take your character through a series of preparatory steps, all the while using the actions to reflect her internal feelings. Does she talk to herself as she goes? Or is she constantly frustrated by her plans not working out as she'd hoped? Or do things go smoothly, and the only thing left to worry about is the moment when the visitor arrives at her door?
