Chapter 49 Naomi's Choice

• Naomi's POV
• The envelope seemed to be bearing the weight of all my unresolved questions as it weighed heavily in my palms. The sound of the latch clicking like a period punctuated my growing tension as I shut the door behind me, my heart thumping.
• I leaned against the door, staring at the familiar handwriting on the envelope. Lila. A mixture of relief and pain came at the sight of her name. My sister had always been my pillar of support, even though she lived far away, safe in her own college bubble. She had a knack for sensing when my world was spinning out of control.
