Every time I saw Mom on the phone, a storm of questions flooded my mind. Who could she possibly be speaking to in our situation? What was she keeping from me. I thought about confronting her, demanding the truth, but doubt held me back. I was afraid of what her answers might reveal. A part of me clung to the fragile hope that whatever she was hiding could be our way out. So, I stayed silent, trapped in an endless spiral of uncertainty and speculation.
