It all started a week earlier.

My daughter, Sarah, stopped answering my messages.

At first, I thought she was busy. She works at a graphic design agency. She is always running from one place to another, juggling deadlines and clients. But Sarah never, ever left me without a reply for more than a day.

On Monday morning, I wrote to her:

“Daughter, how did you wake up? Sending you a kiss.”

Two blue check marks. Seen.

But there was no reply.

On Tuesday, I tried again:

“Sarah, my love, is everything okay? I worry when I don’t hear from you.”

Seen.
