Chapter 154

• "And if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to just listen, I'm here. And if you ever feel like you're losing hope, just remember that you've made it through so much already and that you can get through anything. You're an amazing woman, and you deserve to be happy. And I know that someday you will be, no matter what it takes." Elena spoke these words with conviction, with a belief in Bridget that she hoped Bridget would someday share.
