• “What have you done?” Robert’s voice cut through the silence, filled with pain. His eyes searched hers, looking for answers, but all she could feel was the weight of her own choices pressing down on her.

The question hung in the air, heavy with accusation. Lily looked down, tears spilling from her eyes as she struggled to find the words.
