The clatter of dishes filled Maya's ears as she walked into the kitchen. Her roommate, Chloe, was humming a cheerful tune as she prepared dinner. Yesterday’s revelations had felt like a punch to the gut. Maya had found Chloe reading her journal, details of her personal life laid bare.

Chloe noticed Maya and stopped what she was doing. She gave a small smile and waved her hand at the table. “Dinner’s almost ready. I made your favorite, lasagna.” Maya nodded, her throat suddenly tight. The aroma of garlic and herbs filled the air, mingling with the warmth emanating from Chloe’s presence. She felt her muscles start to relax.
