That evening, Eliza, Sarah, and Lily celebrated the end of their first exam with a quiet dinner in their dorm. They laughed and reminisced about the past weeks, the stress giving way to relief and camaraderie. As Eliza prepared for bed, she couldn't help but think about the changes in her life over the past month. The threats, the fear, and now this newfound sense of security and accomplishment. She knew that Vaughn had played a significant role in that transformation, and for that, she was deeply grateful.
