Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: The Weight of Silence

Her existence now had a peculiar stillness, a spooky silence that seemed to encroach on her from all sides. She felt more lost than ever even though she had triumphed and exacted revenge on herself. She didn't feel as relieved as she had hoped when the man who had once been her worst enemy was gone. Lily didn't know how to fill the void it left in her life.
