The ceramic mug slipped from Martha’s grasp, shattering on the kitchen floor. Coffee, still steaming, spread across the tiles like a dark stain. Her sister, Sarah, stood across from her, a serene smile plastered across her face, radiating a calm Martha found utterly infuriating. "I'm so glad you're happy, Sarah," Martha managed, her voice tight, a tremor running through it. "But this...this is unbelievable."

Her chest constricted. She needed air, suddenly. The small kitchen felt like it was closing in. She took a step back, bumping into the counter, and winced.

"I just don't understand," she hissed, her hands clenched into fists. "After everything? All those years, all those traditions...gone."
