Belinda and Gwenda sat in silence. Belinda’s chest felt heavier now. She had suspected as much, but hearing it
confirmed still left her feeling pain.
“We already know that,” Belinda said at last, her voice low and calm. “You can leave now.”
Holley froze, stunned by the flat dismissal. She had not anticipated Belinda’s composure. The cold, measured

Holley stayed silent, her eyes drifting toward Gwenda in a silent plea, hoping she might speak up for her.
But Gwenda remained still—no words, not even a glance at her. It becclear that she was completely
disappointed in Holley.
As Holley lingered, unmoving, Belinda spoke again, her tone sharper. “Still not leaving? Shall | get someone to
