The room was almost too tidy, as if she had deliberately erased her presence. On the bedside table, I noticed a single sheet of paper, stark against the empty space. My hands trembled as I picked it up, a sinking feeling settling in my chest. Suzie\u2019s familiar handwriting filled the page, but the message was anything but comforting:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeaving. Make sure that they stay safe and healthy. It would be best for you to look into why your mother did the things she did to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The words hit me like a freight train. Leaving? Why? My mind raced to piece together what could have driven her to such a decision. Suzie had shown no signs of wanting to leave\u2014at least not that I had noticed. The cryptic mention of my mother added another layer of confusion and dread. What had my mother done to her? And why hadn\u2019t I seen this coming?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I saw the balloons, my heart felt a wave of joy and anticipation.
