Chapter 56

• Carla's POV
• Together, we broke free from societal expectations, and create our own unique path. And in the end, whether we end up together or part ways, I know that this experience will shape us both, teaching us valuable lessons about acceptance, resilience, and the power of love.
• One evening, as we sit together in a cozy corner of our favorite café, sipping steaming cups of coffee, I feel an unspoken tension hanging in the air. Carter's gaze is distant, and I can tell something is bothering him.
