As Amelia's Godfather spoke the words, "I'll handle everything from my end. You take care and call me anytime you need me. I'm hanging up, then. Bye," a fleeting sense of reassurance washed over Amelia. Grateful for the support she had during this tumultuous period, she felt a glimmer of hope.

It felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing the air out of her lungs, causing her eyes to well up with tears and a bitter taste to fill her mouth, leaving her engulfed in a swirling vortex of emotional turmoil. She pressed her fingers to her temples, trying to stave off the looming headache brought on by the stress.
