The glitter and glamour of Chloe’s stories about her PR career crumbled when Fiona accidentally saw her working a dead-end job in a call center. Fiona felt a tightness in her chest, a strange ache. It felt heavy. She knew the secret wouldn't stay buried for long.

Later that evening, Fiona drove to Chloe's tiny apartment, a place she rarely visited. The air inside felt thick with unspoken things. Fiona sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Are you alright?"

Chloe’s eyes welled up. Fiona moved closer, instinctively reaching out and gently taking her friend's hand.
