It's been hours since Lisa shut herself in her bedroom

I knock softly. "Lisa? It's me."

No answer.

I crack the door open, peeking inside. The room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of her bedside lamp. She's curled up on the bed, facing the wall, her body still.

"Lisa," I say softly, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "Can I get you a tea, or coffee?"

Her voice comes out muffled, raw. "I can't, Winona. Not now."

She turns her head slightly, her eyes red and swollen. "He didn't even let me help him. Those last few days...were so perfect, why couldn't he see how perfect they were?"

I reach out, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Lance loved you. I know he did. But we know the pain he always carried."

She shakes her head violently. "If he loved me, he wouldn't have done this! He wouldn't have left me like this."

Her words dissolve into sobs, and I gather her into my arms. She clings to me, her grief pouring out unchecked. "I know," I whisper. "I know."

For what feels like an eternity, we sit there, her tears soaking into my shoulder. I let her cry, let her release the pain that may never heal for her. When her sobs quiet to soft sniffles, she pulls back, wiping her face with her sleeve. "I don't even know what to do now," she murmurs. "You take it one step at a time," I say gently. "You let yourself grieve, and you lean on the people who love you."

"How is Jayden?"

I hesitate. "He's... struggling. Cass and Viktor are with him now. He's not ready to face everything yet."
