“I can’t even look at you right now,” Martha said, her voice a low, strangled whisper. Her eyes, usually sparkling with warmth, were now clouded with hurt. The secret Snapchat account, the late-night parties, the lies - they were all laid bare.

She turned away, staring at the blank wall, willing the tears to stop. Her shoulders trembled. The physical space around her seemed to shrink, trapping her in a prison of disbelief.

She felt a hollowness in her chest, a void that yawned wider with every passing second. Her dreams, her hopes, all felt like dust.
