For one day, almost twenty-year-old Season just wanted to pretend the cracks in her family's seeming happy and stable, if a little dysfunctional home weren't there. For one day, she just wanted to pretend that her mother was happy, that she was a normal college graduate, and that her dad actually cared more about his family that his music.
That one day of pretending cost her everything.
Maybe if she hadn't been so intent on pretending, on temporarily ignoring the cracks and deciding to fix them later, she would have noticed and been able to stop her mother from shattering them.
