Carol was with her the whole time. It was clear as day that all Maja cared about now was whether her hand would get better. Even if someone mentioned lan in front of her, she wouldn’t bat an eye

lan tried to get in touch with Maja these past few days, but she didn’t bite.

Now lan has stopped reaching out to her too.

Not long after Maja was discharged, she got an invite from a villa owner she had worked with before, inviting her to a wine tasting party.
