Maeve survives the car crash that kills her mother, but everything after feels wrong. She\u2019s sent to live with her estranged father,<\/p>\n
a stepmother who tries too hard, and a baby brother she doesn\u2019t know. The weight of what really happened that night crushes<\/p>\n
her, but no one knows she was the one driving. She tries to bury the truth\u2014but guilt keeps rising.<\/p>\n
In court, Maeve faces the man blamed for her mother\u2019s death, yet something doesn\u2019t sit right. Her memories begin to sharpen:<\/p>\n
the rain, the headlights, the keys in her hand. She realizes the truth\u2014she had been driving, not her mother. The guilt consumes<\/p>\n
her, but the confession finally escapes her lips.<\/p>\n
Back home, Maeve overhears her father confess he barely knows her, that he wasn\u2019t there when it mattered. His regret hits<\/p>\n
harder than any verdict. She crumbles under the weight of loss, loneliness, and truth, breaking down in his arms as he tells her<\/p>\n
it wasn\u2019t her fault\u2014even if she can\u2019t believe it yet.<\/p>\n
Alone in her room, Maeve finds an old letter from her mother addressed to her father. In it, her mother wonders if he\u2019s ready to<\/p>\n
be the dad Maeve needs. As she reads the letter, something shifts. Her mother believed in second chances\u2014and maybe, Maeve<\/p>\n
thinks, there\u2019s still time to find her place in this unfamiliar home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
