Marlene paced back and forth in the cramped hotel room, a lit cigarette dangling between her fingers as she sought comfort
frayed as she struggle the nicotine. Her agitation and annoyance were palpable, and her nerves
frayed as she struggled to make sense of the seriousness of her situation.
Mary sat on the edge of the bed, watching her daughter’s restless movements with concern etched or her face. She finally couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer and asked in a gentle tone, “What are you thinking, Marlene? What are you going to do about the mess you’ve found yourself in?” e mess you’ve found yourself in?”
Marlene spun around, smoke trailing behind her. She shot a fiery glare at her mother, her words sharp and cutting. “I’d advise that you shut up and let me think, mother. Don’t talk to me.“.
Mary recoiled at the harshness of her daughter’s words, her frustration brewing beneath the surface. “Don’t you dare tell me to shut up like that, Marlene! I deserve respect, and you will not talk to me like I’m one of your servants.”

need right now is your overbearing presence. If you don’t want me to unleash my anger on you, then either shut up and let me think or get out of my face. I genuinely don’t have time for your nonsense right now.”
Mary’s stunned silence filled the room, disbelief etched on her face. She believed that she had always been there for her daughter, supporting her through thick and thin, and even though she was currently being called a crazy woman by the media, she was still very much supporting her. So the fact that Marlene had the audacity to speak to her so carelessly made her blood boil.
Her voice trembling with anger, she responded, “Marlene, you’re being ungrateful. I am here for you, supporting you through this, and yet you dare to speak to me with such disregard. Without me, you would be all alone, with nobody else on your side.”
Marlene let out a dark laugh, the smoke curling around her like a shroud. She took a long drag from her cigarette, exhaling a cloud of frustration. “Grateful? For what, Mary? Your so–called support? I know why you’re still clinging to me, pretending to be a supportive mother. It’s because you know damn well that, without me, you would be nothing. I’m your lifeline, and you’re here because you’re
