Chapter 10

• Sebastian finally nodded, understanding my resolve, though the concern didn't fade from his eyes. "Alright, Amelia. But promise me you'll be careful. If you need anything, I'm just a call away."
• I smiled gratefully, acknowledging his support. "Thank you, Sebastian. I promise I'll stay cautious, and your concern means a lot to me."
• As the conversation slowly shifted to lighter topics, I felt a sense of relief at having expressed my desire for independence. Sebastian's presence and concern were a source of comfort, but I needed to find my strength and rebuild my life on my terms. The decision to pursue my art was a step towards reclaiming control and overcoming the fear that had held me captive for too long.
