Linda's POV
The weight of the previous few days weighed heavily on my heart as I stood outside Sophie's apartment. I simply wanted a place to breathe after everything that had transpired, including Ethan's falsehoods, the threatening message, and the media dragging my reputation through the mud. I had to leave everything behind, including him.
Sophie smiled warmly as she opened the door, but her face turned worried as soon as she spotted me. "How are you, Linda?"
Untrusting my voice, I shook my head. She moved out of the way so I could enter, then shut the door after me.
Sophie gently beckoned me to the couch and said, "Come on, sit down." "What took place?"
The words poured out as soon as I sat down. I told her everything, including the lies, Kevin's identity, and how I felt like my entire world was collapsing. Sophie listened silently while keeping her gaze fixed on me.
