The staxi that had arrived earlier was still parked outside, with Quinn dutifully assisting Juliet in loading her

sparse belongings into the vehicle's trunk.

Juliet didn't possess much of value; her bedding was speckled with mold and her clothes were worn to the point

of disrepair.

Yet, she clung to these items with a desperation born from years of transience, a fear of being left without even

the most basic necessities.

Quinn, empathizing with Juliet's plight, transported all her belongings back to the villa. She carefully stored them

away in the utility room, a space that had beca temporary refuge for Juliet's few possessions.

Perhaps it was the lingering effects of her recent illness, but after the exertion of moving Juliet's items, Quinn felt

a wave of dizziness wash over her.

The room spun violently around her and, unable to maintain her balance, she collapsed onto the floor. Juliet,

having just changed out of her worn clothes, dropped her crutches in alarm and rushed to Quinn's side. "Quinn!"

she exclaimed, helping the fallen woman to her feet.

Quinn had hit her head during the fall, causing a throbbing pain that made it difficult for her to open her eyes.

"What happened?" Juliet asked, her voice filled with concern. "Why did you faint so suddenly?""| probably have

anemia," Quinn admitted, her hand weakly gesturing in explanation. She had recently lost a child and was still

recovering from her illness; anemia seemed a likely consequence. "Stop worrying about everything," Juliet

insisted, guiding Quinn towards the comfort of the couch. "Rest, and I'll make you a cup of sweet ginger tea."

Quinn, looking up at the face of the woman who had shown her such kindness, found herself smiling genuinely

for the first tin what felt like an eternity. Juliet's clean, friendly countenance provided Quinn with a sense of

reassurance and warmth she hadn't realized she needed.As Juliet busied herself with preparing the ginger tea,

Quinn took the opportunity to check her phone.

Disappointment washed over her as she realized there was still no response from Abigail. She glanced at the

shopping bag next to her, knowing it contained a brand-new phone, identical to her current one. With a sense of

resignation, Quinn transferred her SIM card to the new phone, packed the old one into its box, and stored it in

the drawer beneath the coffee table.

As she opened the drawer, her gaze fell upon the untouched divorce papers, their presence a silent reminder of

her failing marriage. She stared at the words 'Divorce Agreement’ for a moment before shutting the drawer, her

heart heavy. With her new phone in hand, she texted Abigail before deciding to call her. Abigail had been

drinking heavily lately, answering her phone with a drunken slur, barely aware of who was on the other

end."What now? Will you people ever leavealone?" Abigail's harsh words took Quinn by surprise, leaving her

momentarily speechless.

Abigail seemed to realize something then, her tone softening slightly. "Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, I've been getting

non-stop calls. Preachers on the intetellingto turn myself in, haters enjoying the ..."Abigail

laughed then, a bitter sound filled with pain. "People only show their true colors when you're down and out,

huh?"

unable to offer any words of comfort."How do these people hide their true colors so well?"

Abigail mused aloud. "Now, listening to them just makessick. Compared to them, I'm actually starting to like

Alexander. Isn't that funny?" Abigail's tone suggested she was finding humor in the irony of her situation. 'At

least Alexander has the decency to be upfront when something bothers him, unlike those backstabbers.
