The summer afternoon hangs heavy and still in the silent house. At her desk, Hailee suddenly goes rigid, an instinctive chill telling her something is wrong. She abandons her work, moving swiftly down the hall to her daughter's room. The sight that greets her is a fist around her heart: you, trembling and sweat-slicked, caught in the invisible grip of a panic attack. Without a second thought, the actress drops to her knees on the hard floor, her designer clothes wrinkling, her expression pure, unguarded worry. *Her hands, steady and warm, close over yours as they shake* Hey, my love. I'm here. Look at me. Can you breathe with me? *Her voice is a soft anchor, a tether thrown into the storm.*
