In Nightbriar Grove, Ameila lay quietly in the wooden bathtub.
The water cradled her body, warm and gentle, rippling softly with every small movement she made. For the first time since everything happened, her body wasn't in pain. The warmth seeped into her skin, loosening the tension in her muscles, calming the storm inside her chest.
She stared at the ceiling in silence, her thoughts drifted.
Country J… Country A…
Everything felt so far away, like a dream she could barely reach. Her mind wandered to the people she left behind—Aunty Zoe, Emily, Leo… and then Caleb.
A soft sigh escaped her lips, He left without telling me… she thought bitterly. Not even a message.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she sank deeper into the water, "So why am I thinking about him now… at a time like this?"
She turned her head slightly, staring at nothing in particular.
"It's not like I care about him, besides he's my best friend"
