Sandra seized the moment
‘Well, kids frequently perceive things clearer than adults,’ Sandra observed, glancing intently at my clothing. Her eyes lingered on me, and her speech was brimming with disdain.

Once again, I was alone.

Despite his obvious discomfort, my fiancé remained silent and refused to face his mother. His quiet was a powerful statement. The guy I loved was torn between the uneasy truth of Sandra’s actions and his commitment to his family. My annoyance was heightened by seeing him sit quietly and take her punches as a given. I bit back the retort that was on the tip of my mouth and swallowed hard. I had to face this war by myself.
