Whispers of a Second Chance
I tried to wipe away the tears, but they continued to stream down my face, a torrent of emotion I couldn't control.
"What's happening to me?" I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible. In that moment of self-doubt, my phone buzzed with a call from Joana.
I hesitated, unsure if I was ready to face her, but ultimately picked up the call.
"Joana!" I answered, trying to mask the tremor in my voice and the dampness on my cheeks.
"I'm just going to ask if you're okay," Joana said, her voice laced with concern. I could hear the unspoken question hanging in the air, the news about Laxus' engagement.
