The days had blurred into a never–ending cycle of pain, frustration, and
uncertainty. My fractured arm, encased in a sky blue cast, only made me feel more. vulnerable. The hospital visits had become a grim routine, and the medical bills. were piling up.
As I stepped into the nearby cafe that afternoon, I couldn’t help but feel the weight. of the world pressing down on me. I had dressed in a nondescript hoodie and sweatpants, trying to stay low–key amidst the public’s disdain for me. The incident with the car had been a chilling reminder that my past had caught up with me in the most dangerous way possible.

I sighed, sinking into the chair opposite her. “Just another inconvenience in this nightmare I call my life.”
Penny reached out and gently squeezed my other hand. “I wish there was more I could do, Evie. I’m still trying to push back against the tabloids, but they’ve been relentless.”

what sells.”

I couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness at the truth of her words. The tabloids had painted a false narrative, turning our once genuine friendship into a sordid affair that I had tarnished. Even Timothy seemed to buy the narrative, despite knowing what he had done to me.
Penny continued, her tone grave. “The #TEVIE fans are abandoning their posts in favor of this new ‘it‘ couple, I suppose. They look so stiff together…”
