The coffee tasted richer than usual this morning, the aroma a comforting hug. Sarah tapped her fingers on the kitchen table, a smile playing on her lips. Today was the day she'd finally finish that novel she'd been working on. The world seemed to shimmer with possibility.

She grabbed her phone to check her emails, and noticed a notification from a social media site she didn't use. It was for a profile connected to her daughter, Emily. The photos were vibrant and full of life, of a girl she barely recognized. Emily was doing improv, and performing in local plays. Her daughter, Emily, was a star.
