The rain fell in sheets that afternoon, drumming against the cracked windows of the bus as it crawled through the gray streets of Detroit. Sarah Mitchell pressed her forehead against the cold glass, watching the city blur past through rivulets of water that traced downward like tears. Her daughter, Emma, sat beside her, small hands clutching a worn stuffed rabbit, her six-year-old face pale with exhaustion. They had been riding for over an hour, transferring twice, making their way from the daycare where Sarah had picked Emma up late again to the cramped apartment they called home.
Sarah's shift at the diner had run long. Tips had been sparse. Her feet ached in shoes that had worn through at the heel three months ago, but there was no money for new ones. Not when the rent was overdue. Not when Emma needed winter boots. Not when the electricity bill sat unopened on the kitchen counter because Sarah already knew she could not pay it.
She closed her eyes and let the rhythm of the bus rock her into a kind of numbness. This was her life now. Wake at five. Drop Emma at daycare by six thirty. Work the breakfast and lunch shift at the diner. Pick Emma up. Ride the bus home. Make dinner from whatever she could stretch. Put Emma to bed. Lie awake worrying about money until exhaustion dragged her under. Then wake and begin again.
It had not always been this way. Once, she had believed in futures that shimmered with possibility. She had married young, full of hope, to a man who promised her stability. But stability had turned to cruelty, promises to lies, and love to fear. When Emma was two, Sarah had gathered what little courage she possessed and left, taking only what fit into two suitcases and her daughter's car seat. The divorce had been bitter, expensive, and in the end, he had disappeared, leaving her with nothing. No child support. No forwarding address. Just silence and the weight of raising a child alone.
The bus lurched to a stop, and Sarah stood, guiding Emma down the narrow aisle and out into the rain. They ran the three blocks to their building, water soaking through their coats, their breath coming in gasps. Inside the lobby, the fluorescent lights flickered, and the smell of mildew hung thick in the air. Sarah unlocked the apartment door and ushered Emma inside, peeling off her wet jacket and wrapping her daughter in a blanket.
The apartment was small, just two rooms and a bathroom. The paint peeled in the corners. The radiator clanged but gave little heat. The couch sagged where the springs had broken, and the kitchen table wobbled on uneven legs. But it was theirs, and Sarah kept it as clean as she could, as warm as she could manage.
She made dinner, pasta with butter and a handful of frozen vegetables, stretching the meal as far as it would go. Emma ate quietly, her eyes heavy, and Sarah watched her with a tenderness that ached in her chest. This child, this small, brave soul, deserved so much more than this. She deserved a warm home, new clothes, books, toys, a mother who did not come home smelling of grease and exhaustion.
After Emma fell asleep, Sarah sat at the kitchen table and opened the stack of bills she had been avoiding. Rent overdue by two months. The landlord had been patient, but his patience was wearing thin. Electricity. Water. Medical bills from when Emma had been sick in the spring. Credit card debt that climbed higher each month no matter how little she spent. The numbers blurred together, a weight pressing on her chest until she could barely breathe.
She thought, as she often did in these moments, about giving up. About calling her mother, admitting defeat, begging to come home. But her mother's voice echoed in her mind, sharp and unforgiving. I told you that man was no good. I told you not to marry him. You made your bed, Sarah. Now you lie in it.
Her mother had not spoken to her since the divorce. Her brother had offered help once, a small loan, but when she could not repay it on time, he had stopped calling. The rest of her family, scattered and indifferent, treated her like a cautionary tale, a reminder of what happened when you chose poorly and fell from grace.
Sarah folded the bills and set them aside, her hands trembling. She would find a way. She always did. Even if it meant working double shifts. Even if it meant skipping meals so Emma could eat. Even if it meant swallowing her pride and doing whatever it took.
