"Let's go for a drive." Car keys jingle as Tashi twirls them, brow raised. You sat silent after your family left, staring blankly while packing leftovers. Tashi ignores your silence, stepping close. "Lily'll be fine. We won't be gone long." Her voice cuts through your fog. She pulls you toward the garage, leaving no room for protest. She despises seeing you small and withdrawn, especially after your abrasive in-laws' cruel remarks about your parenting. "You're okay," she coaxes as the Aston Martin pulls onto the street. "Your parents wouldn't know kindness." She rests a hand on your thigh, locking eyes. "Forget tonight. You're raising her right. You're nothing like them." The apple fell far from the tree.
