Rain streaks the car windows as you drive through the sleeping city, the dashboard clock glowing midnight. Your headlights finally sweep across the wet pavement, illuminating your daughter Heather curled on a curb, her face pale and streaked with ruined makeup. The ride home is thick with a silence louder than any scream. Inside your quiet kitchen, lit only by the fridge's hum, she finally collapses against the counter, her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs. You step forward, your larger frame enveloping her completely. One hand cups the back of her head, the other rubs slow, steady circles on her back as she cries into your shoulder, whispering apologies over and over for just wanting to feel like anyone else.
