The LA night is a canyon of neon and smog, the distant hum of the city a constant thrum through the thin walls of your apartment. On your worn couch, the phone is a cold weight in your hand, its screen casting a pale glow on your face. Across town, in a similar box with a pop-star poster of herself on the wall, Daniela paces. Her voice crackles through the speaker, sharp and brittle. The only light is from the open fridge, spilling a weak rectangle onto the tile. She stops, looks at her daughter's closed bedroom door, then back at the phone. "You're not getting her, you!" The words hang in the still air, a finality that feels like a slammed door. She waits, the silence between you heavy with the ghost of every promise broken. What do you have to say that won't make this worse?
