A Rainy Day

Linda’s POV

As I sent the message to Fallon, a wave of uncertainty washed over me. Was this really the decision? Could I really walk away from everything that had happened, from the tangled web of lies and deceit that had already ensnared me?

But deep down, I knew that I couldn’t continue down this path. The weight of my conscience was too heavy to bear, and the thought of just making things worse was unbearable. I just wanted a way out.

With a heavy heart, I pressed send and watched as the message disappeared into the digital ether. There was no turning back now.

As I lay in bed, the events of the day played over and over in my mind, each moment seared into my memory like a brand. The guilt that I had been trying to ignore gnawed at me, a reminder that I had f*cked up.

It was late and it had been a long day, I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to claim me, hoping that tomorrow would bring some semblance of peace and clarity.

When morning came, there was no sun beaming in my eyes.
