"Candy, there's something I need to tell you. I ended things with Zayn."
"What? Are you serious? Why on earth would you do that right now? Is that why you came back?"
"I just couldn't handle everything. The pressure, the danger, all the secrets... it was too much. And yes, that's why I'm here."
Well , the look on her face! I can see she's frustrated. My poor friend.
"So you thought breaking up with Zayn would solve things? That's just adding more chaos to an already messy situation."
"I know it sounds crazy, but I thought it would help me focus. I need to protect the kids and everyone else."
She sternly looks at me, I sit up.
"You think breaking up with Zayn makes you more focused? If anything, it's just going to distract you more. He's a key part of this whole operation."
"I get that, but it was becoming too personal. I couldn't separate my feelings from the mission."
