Mia sat quietly on the couch, her hands trembling as she clasped them together. She knew this moment was coming, but nothing could have prepared her for the weight of Scot’s silence. It was worse than anger. His pacing, the clenched jaw, the eyes avoiding her—it was all too much. Finally, Scot stopped, his voice strained as he spoke. “Why didn’t you tell me, Mia?

As Scot drove up the long, winding driveway, he couldn’t help but reflect on the contrast between the serene elegance of his father’s home and the chaotic turbulence of his own life.

Jane sat at her kitchen table, the dim light of the early morning casting long shadows across the room. The conversation with her mother had left her with a mix of emotions. Her mother’s disappointment was clear, and it stung deeply, but Jane’s resolve was only strengthened. She felt as if she were standing on the precipice of a cliff, looking down into an abyss of uncertainty.
