Could you stay withfor a while?" Tracy's face was drawn, her eyes betraying a raw vulnerability that Elyse hadn't seen in a long time.
Elyse paused, torn, but then offered softly, "How about I play you something on the violin? One of your favorite pieces. Would that help?" Tracy nodded, a hint of relief flashing across her face. “Okay." Elyse stepped out of the room to fetch her violin. When she returned, she stood beside Tracy's bed and began.
As the familiar melody began to weave its way through the air, the turbulent storm raging in Tracy's heart seemed to find scalm. Slowly, her anxiety loosened its grip, and an unusual sense of peace settled in its place.
Tracy lay still, listening for what felt like an eternity. When the last notes faded, she broke the silence with a question that had been eating at her for far too long. "Are you disappointed in me? I... I'm terrible." Elyse studied her for a moment, her voice gentle yet firm. "I love you more than you could ever imagine. That's why I keep trying to understand what you're going through, trying to piece together your feelings. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I remind myself-if I were in your shoes, I don't know if I could've done any better. I don't know if I would've survived either. I might've drowned in that ocean." Tracy was quiet for a long time, her thoughts drifting before she finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, "That day, after I fell from the cliff, I grabbed onto a floating plank. It was broken, just strash in the sea... but it saved my life." Your next chapter awaits gvlnovlsElyse's lips curled into a soft smile. "See? Even the universe wasn't ready to give up on you. It gave you a way to survive." Tracy closed her eyes slowly, curling up beneath the blanket as if seeking comfort in the soft fabric. Her voice trembled as she whispered, "I was so scared. Out there, in the ocean, I was completely alone. That broken plank -it was my only lifeline. I was terrified of losing it. Without it, I wouldn't have had a chance. Not even a sliver of one." Sensing Tracy's heavy mood, Elyse immediately knelt by the bed, gently taking her hand and holding it tightly. She spoke softly, her words a steady comfort. "But you survived. All the pain, all the struggles-they're part of what makes you strong. Don't be afraid of them. You're stronger than you think." Tracy shook her head, tears streaming down her face, the weight of everything pressing down on her.
Elyse continued, her voice a calm, soothing rhythm, offering reassurance. Slowly, Tracy's sobs quieted, and exhaustion overtook her. With a final, deep breath, she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Elyse sighed quietly, relief flooding her as she carefully left the room. Outside, she found Jayden leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed and a look of concern on his face.

"How is she? Did she agree to terminate the pregnancy?" he asked, ve his voice low and tense.
Elyse sighed, her voice heavy with understanding. "Let's not focus s on Ο that right now, Revenge is the only thing that's keeping Tracy going. If you take that away from her, it's like taking away her reason to live."
