  Eden smiled, his expression softening. "Thank you, Ellissa. Your support means a lot to me. And I want you to know that I'm here for you too. Whatever happens, we'll get through it together."

  I felt a sense of comfort wash over me, knowing that I had someone to lean on during this turbulent time. I knew that the road ahead was going to be difficult, but with Eden by my side, I knew that we could overcome any obstacle.
