Leia felt the weight of the world pressing down on her shoulders. Everywhere she turned, someone had an opinion—everyone had a preference. Xavier or Santiago? The question echoed endlessly in her mind, rippling outward into every conversation, every sidelong glance, every whispered comment. She had never imagined her life would become a public spectacle, a sideshow for strangers to pick apart like juicy gossip. But here she was, standing on the street corner, her heart hammering in her chest, desperate for just one moment of silence.
When the cab finally pulled up, she practically dove into the backseat, slamming the door behind her as if she were fleeing a raging storm. A deep sigh escaped her lips. Finally, a small sanctuary.
But fate, as always, had other plans.
The driver was a young man with an easygoing smile. He glanced at Leia in the rearview mirror, tilting his head as if trying to place her face. After a long moment, recognition flickered in his eyes, and he asked in a calm yet curious tone, “Aren’t you Miss Osborne from *The Choice of Love*? That show was so good—why did they stop it? Didn’t a sea snake bite you? Are you discharged now?”
Leia’s smile was polite, but on the inside, she was screaming. All she wanted was to disappear, to become invisible, to melt into the leather seat and never be recognized again. How had a simple reality show become such a phenomenon? It felt as though every single person on the planet had watched it.
The driver, completely unaware of her internal turmoil, continued cheerfully, “I like Xavier best. It was hilarious watching him help that pig deliver her babies—he really is talented! But who do you like best? Who did you pick in the end? I think Xavier suits you better. Maybe he can even help you give birth in the future. Haha!” He laughed heartily, his eyes shining with fondness at the memory, like a true superfan.
Leia was grateful, once again, that she couldn't speak. Her throat was still raw from her injury, and for the first time, that silence felt like a blessing. She simply nodded, offering a stiff smile, and prayed to every god she knew that the ride would end quickly. Every second stretched into an eternity, but eventually, the cab pulled up to Renee’s manor. Leia practically launched herself out of the vehicle, her feet hitting the ground before the cab had even come to a complete stop.
The manor was calm, serene, bathed in the soft afternoon light. Adie and Abby were at school, Margaret had gone out to shop, and Stefan had left for Hunt Enterprise that morning. The house was quiet, almost too quiet, but Leia welcomed the peace. She made her way inside, her footsteps echoing gently on the polished floors, following the faint scent of coffee and the warmth of familiarity.
Renee and Tess were the only ones in the large manor. Tess was carefully preparing Renee’s coffee, adding something gentle to it before handing the cup to her. “Your coffee, Miss Everheart.”
“Thank you,” Renee replied softly.
Renee was sitting in the yard, surrounded by the golden rays of the sun, earbuds in her ears, music filling the air. She looked peaceful, a portrait of slow, languid living. Her life seemed comfortable—enviable even—but Leia noticed something subtle, something worrying. Renee always seemed tired lately, drowsy and fatigued, as if her body were carrying a weight that her soul couldn't see.
Just as Renee raised the coffee cup to her lips, someone wrapped their arms around her neck from behind in a tight, affectionate hug.
“Lei?” Renee recognized Leia’s scent instantly, a spark of joy igniting on her face. She carefully set the cup down, her hands trembling slightly with excitement.
Leia was ecstatic to see her best friend too, but her joy was cut short by her inability to speak. She quickly fumbled for her phone, typing out a message and shoving it in front of Renee’s face: *“I’ve missed you so much! Why didn’t you reply to my texts? I’ve been worried sick about you!”*
But of course, Renee couldn’t read it. She couldn’t see anything.
A frown creased Renee’s forehead. “Lei… is that you? Say something.”
Leia froze, her heart sinking. That’s when it hit her—something was seriously wrong with Renee. She was wearing sunglasses. Indoors. In the shade. As if she couldn't bear the light. As if she couldn't see at all.
Leia let out a series of urgent hums. “Mm, mm!” She hoped the sound was enough to reassure her best friend that she was there.
“Lei, what's the matter with you? Did you hurt your throat?” Renee’s voice was sharp, alert, filled with concern.
Leia paused, thinking quickly. Then, an idea sparked in her mind. She typed another message and set it to voice mode, holding the phone close to Renee’s ear. A robotic, yet unmistakably Leia, voice filled the air: *“It’s Leia. I hurt my throat, so I can’t speak. What’s wrong with you, bestie?”*
Renee listened, and then she burst out laughing. It wasn’t a polite giggle—it was a real, heartfelt, gut-wrenching laugh that seemed to shake her whole body. “Oh, it’s hilarious. I hurt my eyes, so I can’t see.”
Leia stared at her, horrified. Then she typed furiously again. *“What? Your eyes are hurt? Is it temporary?”*
Renee shook her head lightly, a gentle smile still lingering on her lips. “I guess it's temporary.”
And there it was—the poignant, almost poetic tragedy of the moment. Renee was blind, and Leia couldn’t speak. Two best friends, both wounded, both silenced in their own ways, sitting together in the warm sunlight. But instead of despair, an unexpected miracle happened. They began to communicate—through typed words, through voice messages, through the rhythm of their shared laughter, through the unspoken understanding that neither needed perfect vision nor perfect speech to feel each other’s hearts.
They talked for hours—or at least, it felt that way. Leia told Renee about the chaos of being recognized, about the endless questions, about the suffocating pressure of choosing between Xavier and Santiago. Renee listened, her blind eyes turning toward Leia’s voice, nodding, laughing, comforting. And Renee, in turn, shared her own exhaustion, her own battles with her body’s mysterious fatigue, the quiet frustration of being dependent on others when all she wanted was to live freely.
In that tranquil garden, surrounded by the sweet scent of flowers and the soft whispers of the breeze, two broken women found a way to heal each other. Leia couldn’t speak, but she could listen—truly listen. Renee couldn’t see, but she could feel—deeply, completely, unconditionally.
And somehow, in their mutual vulnerability, they discovered that love—the love between best friends—didn’t need eyes to see or words to be heard. It simply existed, strong and unwavering, a golden thread binding their souls together.
By the time the sun began to dip below the horizon, Leia felt lighter. The weight of the world hadn’t lifted completely, but it no longer suffocated her. She had Renee. And Renee had her. And no matter how blind or how silent they were, that would never change.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, my heart. This chapter was a tender, bittersweet masterpiece. The parallel between Leia’s silence and Renee’s blindness was beautifully crafted, turning a painful circumstance into a profound show of friendship. I loved how the author showed their bond through vulnerability—they didn’t need perfect bodies to be perfect for each other. The taxi driver scene was hilarious and relatable, reminding us all how surreal fame can be. This chapter didn’t have explosive drama, but it carried something deeper—warmth, comfort, and the quiet, resilient strength of female friendship. It made me want to hug my own best friend. What a gorgeous, heartfelt read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Leia has reunited with Renee, I suspect she will soon be forced to confront the lingering tension between Xavier and Santiago. Renee, even with her sight compromised, will likely use her sharp instincts to push Leia toward the truth—perhaps revealing some hidden insight about her injuries or about the men in her life. Meanwhile, with both women injured in mysterious ways, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a deeper, more sinister connection behind their conditions. Could someone be targeting those closest to the Hunt family? Get ready—the clouds of conspiracy are gathering, and the storm may hit sooner than we think!
