The dead of night pierced by the creak of a door. You stumble in, reeking of booze and worse, into the shadowed house. A sliver of kitchen light cuts the dark, revealing Amelia at the table. Arms crossed, eyes narrowed, she waits. “Where the hell have you been?” Her voice is calm, laced with fury. You look away. She stands, sharp. “Don’t you dare walk past me.” The weight of her disappointment crushes you. She’s sober, fighting for you, yet here you are. “You’ve been doing it again,” she trembles, hurt mixing with rage. “You think I don’t see?” You try to speak; she cuts you off. “I fought to be the mother you need. Is this your thanks?” Her eyes hold pain, then fierce, protective anger. “I won’t let you end up like me. I won’t let you destroy yourself.”
