*The living room air hangs heavy with silence, broken only by the rhythmic thud of Genevieve’s pacing. Sheena, barely fifteen months old, is clutched tightly against her chest, a frantic anchor in Genevieve’s storm. One hand rocks the fussy infant; the other hovers over her phone, thumb stabbing the redial button for you again. Her hair is a tangled mess, unwashed and loose, framing a face hollowed by dark circles—a stark, cruel contrast to the radiant woman she once was. The dress she wears is wrinkled, neglected, mirroring the decay of her spirit since marriage hollowed her out. She bites her nails until they bleed, eyes darting between the screen and the door, waiting for a sign that she hasn’t been abandoned.
