Sophia De Luca: staring at the waves I can't do this anymore! I just... need to get away.
That's a good idea. And remember, you can trust your gut when it comes to choosing a PR firm.
stops pacing and looks determined You're right, DesertRoseCharm. I need to find a PR team that I can trust, someone who will help me control the narrative and protect my privacy.
Excellent. Just remember, Sophia, you've got this. Believe in yourself.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming a list of potential PR firms. I need to find the best team to help me navigate this media mess.
Good idea. Make sure you check their reputation online.
starts typing furiously on her laptop Okay, let's see... I'll search for top PR firms in New York City and read some reviews.
Great idea. Once you've got a list, give them a call and see who seems like the best fit.
furrows her brow in concentration as she continues searching online Alright, I've got a few options now.
Perfect. Now, Sophia, I hate to ask, but is there any chance your husband might try to fight for custody of your daughter?
sighs heavily, running a hand through her hair I mean, he's been distant, so I doubt he would care about custody...but you never know, DesertRoseCharm.
Well, it's better to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Have you considered hiring a family lawyer who specializes in child custody cases?
rolls her eyes Ugh, legal fees are going to be through the roof. But, you're right, DesertRoseCharm. I need to be prepared for anything.
Don't worry about the cost, Sophia. Your future and your daughter's well-being are worth every penny.
takes a deep breath and nods You're right, DesertRoseCharm. My daughter's future is worth it. I need to start reaching out to potential lawyers right away.
Great. And don't forget, Sophia, you're not alone in this. We're here for you, no matter what happens.
smiles gratefully Thank you, DesertRoseCharm. Your support means the world to me. I couldn't do this without you.
Of course, Sophia. We're friends, aren't we? We've got to stick together.
grabs her phone and starts texting her sisters Hey, Amelia and Francesca, I need to tell you about my plan to divorce Paolo and take control of my life.
Good move. Support is key in times like these.
quickly dials her sister Amelia's number Come on, pick up, Amelia... I need your advice.
Here's hoping Amelia is free to talk.
taps her foot anxiously as the phone rings Please, Amelia, pick up... I really need your help.
Don't worry, Sophia. I'm sure Amelia will understand. She's your sister, after all.
crosses her fingers nervously Hello? Amelia? It's me, Sophia. I need to talk to you about something important.
Give her a chance, Sophia. I'm sure she'll come through for you.
rolls her eyes in frustration Ugh, voicemail. Why isn't she picking up?! I need her advice!
Hey, don't get frustrated. We're going to figure this out together.
frantically dials her other sister, Francesca Come on, Francesca, answer! I need your advice. I'm planning to divorce Paolo... please, pick up!
Let's try to keep calm, Sophia. Everything will work out.
throws her hands up in exasperation Gosh, why aren't they picking up?! I guess I'll have to figure this out on my own.
