Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Fiona was the only one who stayed at her desk the entire time, eyes glued to her sketches as if she couldn't even feel tired. Everyone in the audience—and the people watching online-couldn't help but admire her dedication. Well, most of them, anyway. There were always a few who just saw what they wanted to see.
