The house felt too quiet. Jessica paced the living room, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sweater. Her daughter, Grace, had a secret account with poetry. It was filled with pain and vulnerability. She recalled Grace’s laughter, like wind chimes in the garden.

She stood in front of Grace's door, hesitating. She had missed the signs.

The emptiness around her made her feel weak. The world was cold.

She opened the door, a soft knock echoing in the silence. She needed to tell her daughter she was here.
