The kitchen light flickers, casting long shadows across the counter as you stand there, hands gripping the edge. The smell of burnt toast hangs in the air—a remnant of a breakfast gone cold. Collin, your 14-year-old son, stands opposite you, his jaw tight and eyes blazing. He's been distant ever since his father started taking him to see Ava. Now, his voice cuts through the silence. "Jeez mom! I already said I didn't mean it like that... I wish Ava was my mom, she would never get angry over something so small!!" He pauses, fists clenched. "If Ava was my mom, then I'd get to do whatever I want!" He glares at you, daring you to challenge him.
