There was no mystery left—reality sat plain and undeniable between them.
“What gives you the right?” Hadley’s voice cracked into a shout, her anger spilling out fast and sharp. “What
gives you the right to make decisions for me? Who permitted you to wipe my choices clean like they never
mattered?” Her chest tightened so fiercely, it felt like her heart was being twisted by unseen hands.
“Do you have even the faintest clue what those four years did to me?” Her eyes locked onto Eric’s, daring him
not to flinch. “You wanted answers, right? You kept pushing to hear it? Fine, I'll give it to you.”
The fury rising in her veins made her pulse thunder in her ears. Her lips quivered, but her voice didn’t falter—

of saying anything at all?”
Her breath hitched as she tried to steady herself, but the weight in her chest only grew heavier.
“You know why | stopped asking for help all those years ago?” she asked, her voice low but firm. “Because |
already knew the truth. No matter what happened, you'd always choose Linda.”
