Different Plot, Different Character

This world seemed to be moving too quickly, with time slipping through her fingers like sand. Emma sat by the window, her gaze lost in the city skyline as her thoughts wandered. What should she do now? It had been two months, and Leon had completely disappeared—no calls, no texts, not even a single word.

The words replayed in her mind, each line twisting the knife deeper. She clenched her hands tightly on her lap, fighting the storm of emotions brewing inside her.

"Madam…" A soft voice came from the door. There had been a knock earlier, but Emma had ignored it completely.
