Chapter 40 Abandoned

• Devastation hit me like a tidal wave. The words blurred as tears filled my eyes. How could he leave? How could he abandon me like this? The ache in my chest was unbearable, a mix of loss and betrayal.
• The rain outside seemed to mirror my pain. The darkness of the cave closed in around me, and for the first time, I felt completely alone.
• Why did Evan leave me hanging like this? I wondered as I curled up in my own embrace, crying until I eventually fell asleep.
