Chapter 20

• Ava's eyes blurred with tears as she walked down the street. The pain was overwhelming, like a weight crushing her chest. The man she loved had cheated on her, throwing away their 10-year-old relationship in a matter of minutes.

• A man's voice echoed through her consciousness. "Are you okay?" he asked, his words fuzzy and distant.
