“With my life,” he answered.
Finished,
By the time we left the library, the sun was already going down. The meeting with the private investigator had been intense, but it also gave me some kind of hope.
Finally, there was a chance I could learn where I came from, who I was before everything changed.
Cole drove quietly and I enjoyed every bit of the silence. I stared out the window, trying to calm the storm inside my head. After a while, I sighed and said, “Let’s stop somewhere for ice cream. I could use something cold and sweet.”
He looked at me through the rearview mirror, nodded and pulled into a small eatery by the road. It was quiet, not crowded, and the lights inside gave it a soft, warm glow.
I got a cone of vanilla with chocolate drizzle and sat by the window while Cole waited near the car. The first few bites helped. I hadn’t realized how tight my chest felt until I started eating. Slowly, the weight of the day began to fade.
After finishing, I went to the ladies‘ room to freshen up. I looked at myself in the mirror and all I saw were my tired eyes, messy hair, but better than I’d felt all week. I was just about to wash my hands when I saw someone step out of one of the stalls.
I was surprised to see Selene. Her smirk hit me before her words did. “Amy,” she said, calling my name out like it annoyed her to say it. “Didn’t expect to see you here. Guess your life’s treating you well.”
I froze for a second. Of all people, why her? I forced myself to breathe, calm down and turned to leave, not wanting to give her the.satisfaction. “Not today, Selene. I’m not doing this with you.”
She laughed, that same mocking sound I’d hated since the first time we met. “What’s wrong? Scared I’ll tell everyone who you really are?”
That hit a nerve. I turned back sharply. “You don’t know anything about me.”
“Oh, I know enough,” she said, stepping closer. Her tone grew sharper. “Everyone sees you pretending to be perfect. But you’re just a lost little girl playing grown–up.”
I clenched my fists. “You have no idea what I’ve been through. Stay out of my
life.”
She smirked again and moved even closer, her face was now inches from mine. “Make me.”

Finished.
I was about to push past her when another voice echoed from behind. “Selene, what’s taking so long?”
I turned and saw Clara walking in. My stomach sank.
“Great,” I muttered under my breath.
Clara’s grin was worse than Selene’s. “Look who we have here. Little Amy.”
I didn’t respond. I tried to move around them, but Selene blocked my path. “Leaving so soon?” she said. “We were just getting started.”
I tried to ignore them and pushed forward, but Clara grabbed my arm. That was it. I yanked free, glaring at both of them. “Get your hands off me.”
Selene shoved me hard. I stumbled back against the sink, my heart racing. “You think you’re better than us now, huh?” she hissed.
Before I could answer, Clara joined in, pushing my shoulder. “Maybe she needs a reminder of who she used to be.”
The two of them were on me in seconds. Selene slapped me across the face, and I tried to block Clara’s hands as she grabbed my hair but unfortunately, my back hit the tiled wall.
Pain shot through me, but anger burned hotter. I shoved Selene off, trying to get to the door, but Clara swung again, catching me in the side.
“Stop!” I yelled, pushing back harder this time. But it was two against one. I slipped, and Selene grabbed a handful of my shirt, dragging me down.
Then, suddenly, the door flew open.
“Hey!” Cole’s voice roared through the room.
Selene froze, and Clara’s grip loosened. Cole didn’t waste time, he pulled me up and stepped between us, his face dark with anger. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
Neither of them answered. Selene looked shocked while Clara looked like she’d just been caught stealing.
Cole glared at them, his jaw tight. “Touch her again, and I swear-”
“Cole,” I cut in, my voice shaking. “Let’s just go.”
He looked at me, then nodded and placed a hand on my back as we walked out. My knees were weak, but I kept moving. I didn’t want to cry there, not in front of them.
