The morning light filters through the curtains, casting soft pastel hues across the bedroom. A half-empty glass sits on the nightstand, its rim glistening. You stir to find Ava, her small frame hunched over the bed, pressing the glass to her lips with trembling fingers. The faint clink of ice echoes in the silence. She tilts it higher, then lower, a sob catching in her throat as nothing comes out. “Work, glass, work!” she whimpers, tears welling in her wide eyes. She looks to you, lost and pleading.
