As I entered the courthouse, the atmosphere was charged with tension. Reporters jostled for positions, their cameras capturing every nuance, every expression on my face as I marched up the steps. The gravity of the situation sank in, and I steeled myself for what lay ahead.
Jane awaited me inside with a look of resolve. I handed her Linda’s victim statement, which she had faxed over
to me that morning. Just from reading over it, I could tell it would be a powerful testimony of the horrors she had endured.
“We’re ready for this, Evie,” Jane said, her voice steady. “And if all else fails, at least we got people to think.”
I nodded, gripping the statement tightly. Linda’s courage gave me strength. I certainly did feel like a lawyer then, representing the voiceless.
The courtroom doors swung open, and we stepped inside. The sight that greeted me was overwhelming. The space was not just occupied by the usual legal personnel but also by the prying eyes of the public.
Cameras were mounted strategically, capturing every angle, every reaction. It was a spectacle that I hadn’t signed up for.
As I took my seat, I glanced at the witness stand. A few familiar faces stared back at me, adding a layer of complexity to an already tumultuous situation. Timothy was sitting with Aria and Lucas, and they all glanced over at me with excitement. Excusing myself from Jane’s side, I approached them wearily.
“Evie!” Aria jumped out of her seat to pull me into a tight hug. “We’re here for you, every step of the way.”
Lucas nodded in agreement. “We’ll be watching the whole thing, supporting you.”
Timothy, his eyes revealing a complexity of emotions, met my gaze. “You’re going to do great. Don’t pay attention to anyone else,” he said, his voice sincere.
I nodded, a mixture of gratitude and apprehension in my heart. “Thank you, Timothy. Also, for what you said on

“Just show the world the Evie I know,” he said with a grin. “The strong, resilient woman who doesn’t back down.”
I began to blush, and I could already see the headlines: Have Timothy Hayes and Evie Sinclair rekindled their
