Fredrick asked and stepped away from her. Emma laughed as she heard the word 'love'. It was something that could never feel for anyone except herself.

I whispered. The words felt dangerous. Forbidden. Real. The line stayed open, my mother listening, measuring. Finally, she spoke again—cool, distant, unchanged. “Then you will have to learn,” she said, “that love is a liability.” The call ended.
