Relief surged, washing away the months of isolation and uncertainty. She could finally stop explaining, stop justifying. She felt a lightness in her step as she strode out of the office, the sterile white hallway suddenly vibrant. Clutching the doctor’s referral, she dialed the number. "Elias?" she asked, her voice brimming with a confidence she hadn’t possessed in years. "It’s Amelia. I think we have a lot to catch up on."
