Chapter 26 Leaving The Pain Behind

• The car pulled into the airport parking lot, and I slid my black shades onto my face before stepping out. Emma stood beside me, her expression filled with dread ever since I told her I was leaving Canada for Paris. I knew she wanted me to stay, but I couldn’t. My life had become too chaotic, and staying any longer felt like drowning in a sea of constant situations that I can't control.
• As a public figure, normal life was a distant memory. The flashing cameras, reporters hounding me with questions, it never ended. And I needed peace, far from it all.
• “Are you sure about this?” Emma asked again, her voice laced with worry, as if the repetition of the question might change my mind.
