She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Being A Single Mom Isn't Easy

The heaviness that had clung to Farrah's heart finally drifted away, but in its place lingered a quiet, hollow ache

that refused to budge.

Her chest tightened as she reached for Freya, her voice barely above a whisper. "Freya, can you give me a hug?"

Freya pulled her into a warm, reassuring embrace, wrapping her arms around her with silent comfort.

Farrah clung to her, unwilling to let go, so Freya simply kept holding her.

Time blurred, and after a long, indistinct stretch, Farrah spoke, her voice still raspy from emotion. "Freya."

"Hm?"

"Do you think there's something wrong with me?" Farrah rested her chin on Freya's shoulder, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "He treated me so terribly, and yet... hearing him agree to the divorce still hurts

a little.".

"Everyone's heart has its own twisted maze," Freya murmured, offering her a soft consolation. "You've done incredibly well."

Love and hatred often walked hand in hand. There was no need to feel ashamed of that. After all, emotions were never obedient-they came and went as they pleased.

"I wish I could be as lighthearted as you," Farrah confessed, clearly worn down. "But I just can't seem to."

Freya said nothing more. She held her friend, steady as a rock, letting the silence cradle them both.

Time, after all, had its way of mending things that felt unfixable.

She had once loved Kristian deeply. Back then, he'd been so gentle, patient, and tuned into her emotions that she'd fallen for him quickly and completely.

At least before he received Ashley's call, he'd genuinely been good to her.

In the six months that followed that phone call, they'd lived apart, and on the outside, she seemed fine. But only she knew what those days had really been like. Alone in the house, she'd often stare at nothing until hours slipped by unnoticed.

Or she'd run for miles, or box until she couldn't lift her arms-just to let something out.

She never cried in front of Kristian, never begged him to stay.

Those days were suffocating and brutal, but she knew if she could endure them, she'd come out stronger.

Time dulled everything eventually-made even the biggest wounds feel smaller.
