The Good Daughter

The Good Daughter

Every family has one. The one who shows up. Who remembers birthdays and absorbs the silence and smooths the room before anyone else notices it needed smoothing.

She did it for so long it stopped feeling like a choice. It became her shape. Then one day she sat at a table full of people who loved her and realized she had no idea what she actually wanted — for herself, from herself, from any of it.

The good daughter is always there. She just doesn't know who she is when the room is empty.

The Good Daughter is part of The Chianti Chronicles — fiction set inside the SYNTHESIS universe. Full story available to Sovereign Threshold members.
