Chapter 96 Complex Puzzle

• As I lay on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, I felt overwhelmed by the weight of unanswered questions swirling in my mind. Each question seemed to morph into a piece of a complex puzzle, one that felt impossible to solve. Daniel had certainly put me to the test with his unexpected proposal, and although Denver hadn't asked me yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that he would soon.
• The thought of keeping secrets from my best friend weighed heavily on me, like a boulder crushing my chest. I knew I needed to talk to him urgently, to explain everything and unburden myself of the weight of these secrets. After all, Denver held a special place in my life that no one else could replace, not even Daniel.
• With a sense of determination, I resolved to confide in Denver, to lay everything bare and accept whatever his response may be. But just as I was about to reach for my phone to call him, a soft knock sounded at my door, interrupting my thoughts.
