Reality sets in
Back at home, the reality of what had happened settled heavily into every corner of their lives. Lisa sat in silence, her gaze lost in the window, while Emma’s confession repeated itself incessantly in her mind, an endless cycle of horror and realization. Each word weighed like lead on her heart, plunging her into a sea of guilt and painful reflection.

Each memory surfaced like an unwanted memory, the harsh words echoing vividly in the light of her current understanding. They had reprimanded her, each correction reinforcing the belief that it was bad behavior. A bitter, biting regret came over her as she struggled with the realization of how they had remained blind to the truth that begged to be acknowledged.
