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.“.

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
