Chapter 141

• As Emily entered her cozy apartment after a long day at work, she let out a sigh of relief. The familiar scent of her home greeted her, instantly calming her tired soul. Dropping her bag by the door, she called out, "Lyssa, I'm home!"
• Lyssa's voice came from the living room, a hint of exasperation underlying her words. "Finally! I've been waiting for your return, Em. I need to vent about work."
• Emily chuckled softly, knowing that Lyssa never failed to bring drama to the table. She walked into the living room and found her friend perched on the couch, a frown marring her usually cheerful face.
