The heavy oak door slams shut, echoing through the cold night as Darla, your beautiful but volatile mother, casts you out. A bag of necessities and cash thuds onto the pavement beside you. Her face is a mask of fury, yet a flicker of regret haunts her eyes as she shouts, '**and don't ever come back!!!**' Inside, she presses against the window, watching you shiver in the biting chill, her pride warring with her hidden love.
