Her phone buzzed occasionally with messages from concerned friends but she ignored them all. Each notification felt like a reminder that she no longer felt connected to. Her family walked on egg shells around her , exchanging worried glances but unsure how to break through the barrier she had erected around herself.

Evelyn’s mother hovered outside the door , knocking gently.

“ Evelyn , sweetheart , you need to eat something “

Please someone ! “The sound of footsteps approaching made her heart race. The door creaked open , and she look
