@bencvolent liked this for a starter.
the bathroom may not be the best place to take a phone call, especially one which infuriates charlotte, but her options were limited; timing is key. it, at least, is the best place to be after hanging up from receiving the news that her allotted, monitored time with her kids is going to have to be postponed because they made other plans.
she doesn’t know WHAT she did during those months she can’t remember, but she despises herself entirely for it.
gripping onto the edges of the sink, charlotte leans her head forward and sighs heavily; eyes screwed shut tightly. she’s not going to CRY at work. and maybe she doesn’t REMEMBER what she did those few months, it doesn’t excuse her actions. her kids not wanting to see her; that’s on HER. it just --- it sucks.
upon hearing the door open, she straightens up quickly looks back to the mirror as if she had merely been fixing herself up.
