Forbidden Desires
You've been an incredible friend, and I'm grateful for all the moments we've shared.
I need you to do something important for me. Please don't try to find me or reach out. I'll be okay, and I promise to be in touch when the time is right.
Take care of yourself, Lily. You deserve all the happiness in the world.
Until we meet again, with all my love,
Bella”
