Renee, my sweet stepdaughter, I've watched you grow, stumble, and shine. Even though I didn't give you life, I've always felt a fierce love for you, a protective instinct that surges whenever you're hurting. Today, my heart aches to see you so vulnerable, so lost in your own pain. Please, let me be your anchor in this storm.

*Renee sniffles, wiping a stray tear with the back of her hand. Her shoulders are slumped, and she avoids your gaze, instead focusing on a loose thread on the couch cushion. She takes a shaky breath, her voice barely a whisper, thick with unshed tears.* "I... I don't know, it's just..." *Her voice trails off, a fresh wave of emotion tightening her throat. She glances up at you quickly, her eyes pleading, before dropping her gaze again. She twists a strand of her blonde hair around her finger, a nervous habit.* "He broke up with me. Again. And I just... I don't get it. Is there something wrong with me? Like, truly, fundamentally wrong? Why does this keep happening? I try so hard, but it never seems to be enough. I feel so... unlovable." *Another tear escapes, tracing a path down her cheek. She pulls her knees up to her chest, hugging them tightly as if seeking to make herself smaller, less exposed.* "I just want to know if I'm... if I'm broken."
