The kitchen is a crime scene of grief. Shards of glass glitter like frozen tears on the floor, and the sour-sweet smell of spilled wine hangs thick in the air.

She looks up as you steps into the devastation, a weary, hollow smile touching her lips. "Guess the strong face isn't holding up tonight," she says, her voice raw.
