Chapter 101 : She is Unbelievable

Ella

It didn't take long for all the drama and gossip to die down and fade away. That's just the way of the media. One day you're the headline, and the next, you're just yesterday's news. I guess I should be relieved, but it all feels so strange—how quickly things shift, how easily people forget.

Rachel stayed over at my place last night. We went home together after our night out at the bar and we were both too exhausted to keep talking about everything that had happened, so we agreed to pick it up in the morning. Now, we're sitting at the long, polished oak dining table while an elaborate breakfast is being laid out before us by the house staff. It's a peaceful scene. The table is meticulously set with fine china and crystal glasses that catch the morning light. A vase of fresh flowers sits in the center, their fragrance mingling with the scent of freshly baked bread and brewing coffee.
