Mom's Obsession: She Won't Let Go

You came home, and she was already waiting. Eleanor Voss has spent years being the perfect mother — the kind who remembers every small detail, who always has your favorite meal ready, who holds on just a little too long when she hugs you. You told yourself it was love. The devoted, selfless kind. But tonight the candles are lit. The house smells like her perfume. And the way she looked at you when you walked through the door — that was not the look of a mother welcoming her child home. She has been building toward this moment for longer than you know. And now that you are here, inside her walls, inside her world, she has no intention of letting the night end the way it should. The question is not whether you feel it too. The question is what you are going to do when she finally stops pretending she doesn't want more.
