Kyla Wagner sipped at her drink at the bar as her friends talked around her. She was uncomfortable on the bar stool which was designed for thinner people with smaller buttocks. The sleeveless top her friend, Amira, had convinced her to wear was making her self-conscious, knowing that her big arms and underarm fat was on display. She swept her long brunette hair over her shoulders, wanting to disappear entirely.

edit 1: typos, tense change Catch up: Chapters 1-3 4 I find the housemaid shot dead in the street two days later. She'd taken the young girl to a safehouse. That was the hope, at least.

The Price of Silence (chap 1-3). Content Warning.
edit 1: fixing typos, tense changes, and lore inconsistencies 1 The Rivers of Jordan Hospital interior are ridiculously blue. Bright, assaulting azure, not like the sky. More like the radiant color of fish or poisonous tree frogs. The floors are inlaid with blue tile with gold accents along the grout. The walls are uniformly blue with an alternating cross and star pattern along the top and bottom.
