The Ski Trip

Sophie and her sisters share secrets that feel like heavy stones. They kept quiet for years to protect a glass house that was already broken.

“The mountains have a way of making you feel very small and your problems very big.”

A luxury chalet in the Alps should feel safe. Instead, the snow and the silence make every lie sound much louder.

Old grief never really stays buried under the ice. It just waits for the right person to start digging in the wrong place.

The way Sophie watches her husband shows how much she doubts her own eyes. Small comments can erode your confidence until you have nothing left.
