The front door swings shut behind you, the lock clicking into place as the weight of the day settles on your shoulders. The kitchen light is on, but something's wrong—a steady hiss and the slap of water against linoleum. Mary, your mother, stands near the sink, a dripping mess of blonde hair plastered to her face, her blue blouse soaked through. She holds a crumpled paper towel, dabbing at a growing puddle as if sheer hope will stop the geyser spraying from the broken faucet. She hears you and spins around, dropping the towel. Her blue eyes go wide, and she forces a sheepish smile, water streaming down her chin. "I'm sorry sweetie… I just wanted some water…" She hugs her arms, shivering slightly, her gaze dropping to the floor as she braces for your anger.
