Vivian, Naomi, and the others turned red, then pale. People in line around them began snickering and whispering it was clear everyone understood what had happened.

Naomi forced herself to argue back. “Elizabeth, how can you talk like that? We were young back then. We were only joking. Why are you still angry? Can’t you take a joke?”

“A joke?” Elizabeth sneered. “Yes, I hold grudges. I’m petty. If someone messes with me once, I return it.”

Her eyes felt as sharp as ice as she stared at Vivian and Naomi. “Anyone who ever bullied me can forget about buying anything here for the rest of their life. Leave now. Don’t block my business and stop polluting the air.”

“You!” Vivian shook with anger. She pointed at Elizabeth, but no words came out. The looks from the crowd made her feel deeply humiliated.

Just then, noise rose again from the back of the crowd.

Hannah appeared, holding onto Zachary’s arm as they walked toward the stall.

When they first saw the long line, Hannah looked disgusted and wanted to pull Zachary away right away. Waiting in line there felt

beneath her.

But the argument ahead caught their attention. Hannah stood on her toes to see better. To her surprise, she spotted Elizabeth at

the center.

At nearly the same time, Rosalie and the pretty girl from earlier, Lilith Armstrong–the one who wanted to trade Seafarm strawberries for Rosalie’s–also walked over together.

They had clearly come because they loved the strawberries and wanted to see the person selling them.

Several groups ended up gathering in front of the stall, creating a dramatic scene.

When Hannah saw Elizabeth, surprise flashed across her face. Then a darker emotion passed through her eyes. It was contempt mixed with a bit of satisfaction.

Elizabeth had actually fallen so far that she was running a street stall.

But Hannah also felt a tiny hint of jealousy.

Because the strawberries she had tasted earlier were unbelievably good. She wondered where Elizabeth had gotten fruit like that.

Did it come from the Hewitts?

She quickly pushed that thought away.

The Hewitts barely tolerated Elizabeth. There was no way they would give her strawberries like those.

As for Zachary, the moment he saw Elizabeth, his breathing paused briefly.

They had only been apart for a few days, yet she looked completely different.

The Elizabeth he remembered had been beautiful but shallow.

She used to cover herself in expensive jewelry and flashy luxury clothes, but her eyes always looked empty. She was bright on the outside but hollow inside, like she had to keep fighting just to prove herself.

But now, standing behind the stall, she stood tall and straight. She wore no makeup, yet her skin glowed with a healthy shine. She looked more beautiful than she ever had in all those carefully put together looks before.

What shocked him the most were her eyes.

Those eyes that once avoided contact or looked at him with careful hope were now bright and clear, like stars washed clean by spring water.

There was no more careful pleasing in her eyes. Instead, it showed calm happiness and steady focus on her own life.

She turned her head slightly and spoke softly to a customer. The gentle curve of her lips showed a quiet confidence he had never seen before.

Sunlight fell across her at that moment, covering her body in a soft golden glow.
