UNYIELDING RESOLVE

Ari’s mind was in turmoil as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. Leo’s strange behavior, the way he had held her so tightly and then walked away without a word—it all left her feeling confused and frustrated. She couldn’t let it go. She needed answers, and the only way to get them was to confront him.

Determined, she decided to follow him. Ari didn’t know what she expected to find, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that Leo’s actions meant something more than what he had shown. As she trailed behind him through the studio, she noticed the way he moved, his steps purposeful, as if he knew she was there and was leading her somewhere specific.
