Laura Shares Suspicions
Later, Laura pulled me aside, her face tight with concern, and her voice low with unspoken years of observation. “I’ve suspected something for a while now,” she admitted, eyes searching mine. “Jacob’s always acted…different around you, Kim,” she continued, her words heavy with the weight of quiet worry. Hearing her acknowledgment of what I’d long felt but could never prove made me feel less alone. For years, she had quietly watched, supported, and protected me in ways I hadn’t fully recognized until now, and that realization washed over me with a mixture of relief and gratitude.

Feeling Supported
Knowing that Laura had quietly harbored doubts about Jacob all these years suddenly eased a burden I didn’t even realize I’d been carrying. I wasn’t navigating this tangled mess by myself. Her honesty and concern felt like a firm, steady hand on my shoulder, grounding me in the chaos. “Thanks, Laura,” I whispered, relief mingling with deep appreciation. Her unwavering support became a lifeline, a reminder that even in the darkest and most confusing moments, I had someone who genuinely cared about my safety, my truth, and my journey.
