Carly hated going home, as far as she could remember. It was the hollowness of the mansion and the stench of her mother's 'precious' alcohol that made her hate it.

Every time she came home, her mother's tantrums would only get worse.

She gasped in horror as she stared at her mother's bloodshot eyes.
