Her stomach lurched, a violent wave of nausea. She felt a cold sweat break out on her skin, and her vision began to blur. The account, a meticulously crafted lie. Her daughter, a shadow of the person she thought she knew.

She wanted to scream, to lash out, but the words wouldn't come. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to find some comfort, some solace in the face of this incomprehensible truth.
