Chapter 124 Hollis's Change Of Heart

• Hailey***
• I stepped into the dimly lit room of the police station, and immediately, something was off. The air felt thick, like it was pressing down on me, making it harder to breathe. My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic rhythm I couldn’t control. There he was—Hollis. His back was to me, but I could feel the distance between us even from behind. The man I had fought for, the man I had loved, was slipping away. His presence had changed—cold, distant.
• Earlier that day, when I suggested we go for a walk, he’d barely reacted, just nodded absently and returned to his work. He hadn’t even looked at me. That was when I knew something had shifted, but I dismissed it, thinking it was stress or maybe fatigue.
