Rebecca had left home, but she had no idea where to go. She

wandered the streets like a ghost, dazed and aimless. By the time.

she came to her senses, she was standing outside Vivienne's

pizza shop.

She had parents. She had a child. She even owned multiple properties. And yet, the only person she wanted to see, the only one she felt drawn to, was Vivienne, the very friend she had once

cut off herself. It was as if fate had chosen today, of all days, to

play a cruel joke.

While Vivienne was still flustered from wiping Rebecca's tears, her assistant stepped in and informed her someone else had arrived.

Anne took off her sunglasses and stared, stunned by the ghost of the woman in front of her. Then, without waiting for an invitation, she found herself a seat, crossed her legs, and sneered, "Spare me the act. Playing the victim in front of Vivienne? Please. You brought this on yourself.

Former best friends, now enemies.

“Anne, could you not?” Vivienne said, clearly exasperated.

For God's sake, if you're gonna fight, do it outside. Or at least somewhere that isn't here.

Everyone just had to show up and throw a scene under her roof,

didn't they?

Vivienne was genuinely worried they were going to start brawling

in her office.

Rebecca wiped her tears and shot back, "You're not wrong. I ruined everything. But I've never wronged you. Anne, have you forgotten? When you were swooning over Caleb, I warned you. I told you to open your eyes. I told you not to lose yourself in love. And what did you do? You turned on me–for him.”

Anne was momentarily stunned. Then she snapped, "You have the nerve to call me love-blind? Have you forgotten how obsessed you were with Richard? And now you're hung up on Alistair? Don't even bother. He hates you. You destroyed his life. You think he's going to take you back? Get real."
