The hospital room smelled of antiseptic and regret. Evelyn held the letter, addressed to her estranged daughter. The words she'd written were supposed to heal a broken relationship. She'd never sent it.

She closed her eyes, picturing the girl her daughter used to be, before their world fell apart. She thought of all the words that went unspoken, the opportunities lost.

Now, surrounded by the machines of the hospital, she could no longer feel anything at all. The letter felt heavy, a burden. She would just stay where she was.
