Chapter 28
GEORGIA'S POV
Breaking down into uncontrollable sobs over something that should have only earned a frustrated sigh was a wake-up call. It was the moment I realized just how much I was actually bleeding inside.
I'd been feeding myself the lie that I was fine, burying the agony under a mountain of forced pep talks.

The tears were hot, almost scalding, as they tracked down my cheeks. The maids stood around me, looking helpless and confused. They probably couldn't fathom why a few folders of paper had triggered a mental collapse.
