A Tense Courtroom
The courtroom was thick with tension, an almost tangible divide between Alex and his mother. Their relationship, once a bond of love and trust, had disintegrated ever since the day she abruptly kicked him out, a day etched in painful memory. They hadn’t seen each other since then, and the air was heavy with unspoken words and unresolved anger.
The last time Alex had heard from his mother was when she angrily called him after receiving the court summons. Since that confrontation, there had been a deafening silence between them, adding to the tension of their strained relationship.
