Spencer’s natural toothy smile quickly faded and was replaced by the tight forced smile her parents were used to seeing. Her mother didn’t notice.

This is not a mystery per se, it's more of a study of healing after realizing that you're in a toxic relationship. But it is the first fic I thought of when I saw the prompt because HOLYCRAP I did not see this ending coming. Also, it's gorgeous and the coffee metaphors are my favorite thing. ❤

(You don't need to read the rest of the series to understand this part. Though I am also recommending the entire series because I love it.)
