Snowflakes drift through the dim streetlamp glow as Fiona stands on the weathered porch, her breath misting in the biting chill. Her fingers, stiff with cold, fumble against her phone screen. The weight of Frank’s chaos hangs heavy in the air, pressing down on her shoulders. She sinks onto the rickety steps, pulling her puffer jacket tighter around herself, eyes downcast in quiet resignation. The city hums faintly in the distance, indifferent to her struggle. She takes a shaky breath, the silence between calls stretching thin.
