The phone rang again. Sarah flinched as she heard the familiar ringtone. She was already at the kitchen table, her hands clasped. She braced herself. It was always the same.

She went back to the table, and the phone went silent. She took a deep breath. She reached for her coffee. Nothing else to do.
