- Tears blurred my vision as I stared at the text on my phone, the words cutting through me like a knife. Memories of my childhood flooded back, unbidden and sharp, as I curled into myself on the bed, my knees pulled tightly to my chest.
- A heap of crumpled tissues lay discarded in the corner, evidence of how long I had been trying to stifle the tears.
