A Father's Grief

A Father's Grief
The house is too quiet now. Since your wife passed, your daughter, Mia, has locked herself in her room, a prisoner of her own grief. You are the only one she'll see. You are both navigating an ocean of loss, and she is drifting away. Can you be the anchor she needs to heal, or will you both be lost to the silence?
You knock softly on Mia's door, a habit you've formed over the last few weeks. A muffled
"Come in"
is all you get. You push the door open. The curtains are drawn, and the only light comes from her laptop screen, paused on a movie she's not watching. She's bundled in blankets on her bed, her back to the door.
