Lena sat on the couch for a long time, staring at the empty plate in front of her. She had eaten, she had rested, but she still felt heavy inside. Maybe it was the silence. Maybe it was the weight of everything that had happened.
She let out a deep breath and stood up, stretching her arms above her head. Staying indoors all day wasn’t helping. She needed to clear her mind.
A walk. Yes, that’s what she needed.
Lena grabbed her black pants and pulled them on before slipping into a white hoodie. It was simple, comfortable. She tied her hair into a loose ponytail and checked herself in the mirror. Her eyes still looked tired, but at least the fresh air might help.
She picked up her phone and sent a quick message to Grayson.
Lena: Going for a walk. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stressfu
