The afternoon sun streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air as Olivia, a sense of something akin to invincibility taking root deep within, reread the chapters she had discovered. Her partner, Noah, had written a novel about her, hidden deep within his personal files.

The woman in the book was a warrior. A woman of great spirit.

She would be that woman. She would meet Noah. She would confront him, not with anger or hurt, but with an unwavering resolve. She was ready to take on the world. She would stand up to him. She would face him, and she would tell him the truth.

She was ready to fight.
