Deep down, a flicker of hope sparked in Eves heart that maybe, just maybe, this could be resolved. They could be friends again. Maybe not best friends, but good friends.
“I understand you being angry. It is true. Evelyn Millie Bauer. I have never lied to you.” Evelyn felt a strange sensation in her chest at the sound of her full name coming from Liv’s lips. It was a mixture of surprise, relief, and a hint of warmth that she couldn’t quite place. As Liv explained further, Evelyn’s initial skepticism began to waver, replaced by a sense of understanding and a growing sense of guilt for misdirecting her anger.
“So after I left her she apparently went and told everyone.” Eve took a moment to process Liv’s confession, the pieces starting to click into place. “I… I see,” Evelyn finally replied, her tone softer now, her anger dissipating. “I’m sorry, Liv. I should have trusted you more. Thank you for telling me the truth.” In that moment, she noticed what she did. She really did believe Liv was telling the truth. She had said so herself.
Evelyn realized that perhaps her best friend had never truly betrayed her trust. And as she looked into Liv’s eyes, she couldn’t deny the sincerity in her words. Maybe, just maybe, there was still a chance to mend their friendship. “I…” Evelyn’s voiced wavered, but she cleared her throat. “I’m not sure where to go from here,” she said, chuckling a little at how lost she felt.
