The meeting day arrives, and the tension is palpable.
Michelle is unaware, her morning routine unchanged.
But I feel the weight of every decision, every choice.
We arrive at the meeting, a sterile room with uncomfortable chairs.
The panel is a mix of familiar and new faces.
Each introduction feels rehearsed, their smiles strained.
“We’re here to discuss Michelle’s future,” one begins.
Their words are calm, but I hear the undercurrents.
Each point raised feels like a test.
Will I advocate strongly enough?
Will they listen?

Yet, I feel the weight of the years.
Every setback, every triumph, leading to this moment.
The meeting stretches on, decisions hanging in the air.
