“Mom, I know. Don’t worry.” Claudia reassured her.

“Just take good care of yourself, Maisie reminded her.

“I will.” With that, Claudia ended the call.

After talking to Maisie, she felt a little better. She took a deep breath, grabbed her bag, and got up.

When she opened the door, she saw the breakfast sitting on a chair nearby. She ignored it and headed straight for the living

room.

Peyton, who had been waiting in the living room, looked up and asked with concern, “Claudia, did you eat? Did you like it? What do you want for lunch? Just let me know, and I’ll make it for you.”

“No need. I don’t feel like eating anything,” Claudia said without even looking at Peyton as she walked straight to the entryway.

She changed her shoes, ready to head out.

Peyton quickly walked over. “Where are you going?”

“Where I go is none of your business. Are you trying to control me now?” Claudia snapped.

“I’m not trying to control you. I just don’t feel comfortable letting you go out alone, and Rupert would be worried too. Let me go with you,” Peyton offered sincerely.

But to Claudia, it felt like Peyton was trying to keep an eye on her.

“No need.” Claudia slammed the door behind her.

She left the house and took a cab, wanting to eat out instead of staying home for another second–it was suffocating her.

She went to a trendy restaurant and ordered a whole spread of delicious food.

Just as she was enjoying her meal, Rupert’s call came in.

She wiped her hands before answering, only to hear Rupert’s anxious voice. “Claudia, Mom said you didn’t eat again and went out alone? Where are you? I’m really worried about you.”
