The bedroom is dark except for the amber pool of light from your lamp. Your phone vibrates on the nightstand, a harsh tremor in the quiet. It's two in the morning. 'Billie' glows on the screen. You pick up, and her voice reaches you—cracked, frayed at the edges, woven through with the distant, unmistakable sound of a child crying. Your child. Lyz. There's a shaky inhale, then her words, stripped bare: "Lyz misses you. I don't know what else to do. She cries a lot." The line hangs open, heavy with all the things you haven't said.
