As the week drew to a close, the atmosphere grew taut with anticipation.
The sister’s arrival was imminent.
And with it, the potential for confrontation.
I found myself waiting for something to give.
Mrs. Sanchez, ever present, seemed unfazed.
Her quiet determination was a constant.
The mother’s condition, while stable, was a ticking clock.
Every moment felt borrowed.
The sister’s presence was like a looming shadow.
Would she see the truth of her mother’s decline?
