Chapter 116 Left Behind

• Lilly
• It’s been a few months since I moved in with the women, and honestly, it’s been great. The energy is different here—lively, supportive, a stark contrast to the quiet isolation I had when I stayed with Callum. I love the company of the other women, the way they lift each other up and offer guidance. They’re like a safety net I didn’t know I needed.
• But still, a part of me misses the calm, steady presence of Callum. Now that I’m working, I know our schedules overlap, and I’d be seeing him more if I’d stayed in his apartment. It’s a strange thing to think about—how being surrounded by people feels like a relief but also a loss at the same time.
