  Summary

  Her team is asleep. No one is expecting anything of her right now. (They haven’t, not since getting back home. But habits are hard to break, so she still swallows down the lethargy and carries on with the problems she must handle as a leader.) It allows her mind to fill with the thoughts the constant movement throughout the day has scared away. And constantly, tirelessly, relentlessly, it comes to stop at one thing, one horribly painful topic.

  Her mother.
