LEAH'S POV
I returned home and went straight to my room without discussing with my sister.
I slumbed on my bed as tears flowed down my face as I cried.
"Leah, are you alright?" Clara called out.
"Did something happen tonight? Why did you lock the door? Are you alright? Lana and I are worried."
I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. "I'm okay," I said, my voice shaking a bit. "I'm just exhausted from the meeting tonight. I just need some time alone."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Clara asked, her voice full of concern. "You can talk to me if you need to. I'm here for you, you know that."
I appreciated Clara's concern, but I just wasn't ready to talk about it yet. "Thank you, I know," I said, trying to sound reassuring. "I just need some time to process everything."
"Did something happen at the party tonight, Leah?" Clara asked.
"No, nothing happened, Clara. I just need sometime alone." I said.
