A Silent Spectator
Despite her growing anxiety, Monica decided to hold back. She opted to observe Erica from a distance, hoping that her daughter would confide in her when she was ready. Every night, Monica stood by her window, watching Erica drive off into the darkness.
The image of Erica’s retreating car was etched in her mind, a constant reminder of the growing distance between them. Monica longed for the day when she could bridge this gap, but for now, she chose to be a silent spectator in Erica’s life.
