The fast-food parking lot’s fluorescent glare washed over Elena’s car, the engine a low hum as she curled forward over the steering wheel. The milkshake was icy-sweet, the burgers savoury and greasy, but nothing loosened the tight coil in her gut.

With fingers that wouldn’t stay still, she lifted the phone, her voice muffled by a mouthful of fries. "Hello?" The quiet on the line waited, heavy and expectant.
