Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

In the quiet of a Saturday morning, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the soft hum of the refrigerator. Alberta stood in the kitchen, the morning light filtering through the window, casting a warm glow on the countertop. The silence was thick, a palpable tension that seemed to stretch between the walls. Alberta knew what lay ahead, and the weight of it pressed down on her shoulders. Alberta had prepared for this moment, but the reality of it was daunting. The prospect of initiating a conversation with her aging parents about their financial future was both exhilarating and terrifying.
