It had taken hours to fall asleep the night before and, although she hadn’t actually drank much the previous evening, Cami felt hung over when she was jarred awake by the three-year-old jumping on her bed.

“Mommy!” Madison squealed. “Breakfast!”

Cami groaned but she pulled herself out of bed. Sleeping in was a luxury one didn’t have when dealing with a toddler. Ignoring her headache, she pulled Madison into her arms and held her tight as she made her way into the kitchen. She got Madison situated into her highchair with some Cheerios before she started coffee and set about making a more substantial breakfast.

After eggs, toast, and coffee, Cami was feeling a little more alive. She knew that she needed to hold herself together for Madison. She couldn’t afford to fall apart, no matter how much stress she was under. And the only way she was going to be able to keep herself from falling apart was to keep busy.

Cami was able to take a relatively relaxing shower while Madison was distracted with Saturday morning cartoons. Even though she didn’t feel like it, Cami blow-dried her hair, did her makeup, and chose a cheery sundress with brightly colored flowers on it. She then wrestled Madison into an outfit and got them both out of the house.

Cami really didn’t have any plans for the day—she just knew that she had to keep moving. So they went to the park, then the farmers market, and then stopped for lunch at a kid-friendly café. She thought about calling her mom, but she knew that her mother would ask about Drew as well as the custody dispute. She really didn’t want to have to discuss either of those things today, so she kept to herself.

After a full day out on the town, Cami let Madison help her make a delicious dinner full of fresh veggies they’d bought at the market earlier. Having skipped her nap, Madison was ready for bed by early evening. She didn’t even fuss when Cami put her in the bath, and stayed calm while Cami slipped her favorite jammies on her.

Cami curled into Madison’s tiny bed with her and began to read a goodnight story, but Madison was asleep less than halfway through. She continued to read aloud, just to distract herself, until the story was finished. Rising from the bed, she made her way back into the living room.

There was nothing else to distract her now. She was alone with her thoughts. Making herself a cocktail with the leftovers from the night before, Cami tried to relax on the couch. Even with a drink in her hand and her feet up, she was finding it hard.

There was no way that she was going to lose her daughter, she told herself. Things would work themselves out. Still, she couldn’t seem to keep the panic at bay. She was just about to work herself up into a full-blown anxiety attack when there was a knock at the door.

Frowning, Cami looked at the clock.
