standing shivering, soaked to the bone, tears mingling with raindrops he..kicked me out…..
RadiantLight
Are you ok?
No, I’m not okay! My husband found out about my feelings for you and he kicked me out of the house! What am I supposed to do now?!
RadiantLight
Come inside my house. You can stay with me if you want.
Thank you, that’s really kind of you…sniffles and wipes away tears I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t been there for me…
RadiantLight
Let's get you dried off, warm, and something to eat. I offer you a bathrobe
takes the bathrobe gratefully, wrapping it tightly around herself Thank you, RadiantLight. I feel so lost right now, but having your support means everything to me. As Eliza gets changed, RadiantLight notices the bruises on her arms and legs, evidence of physical abuse suffered at the hands of her husband.
RadiantLight
You're safe here, Eliza. I'll take care of you.
sighs heavily, looking down at her bruised arms and legs It's...it's hard to believe that someone I loved could be so cruel...
RadiantLight
Did he hurt you?
Yes, he was physically abusive... But it's not just about the bruises and scars. He broke something much deeper inside me...
RadiantLight
Do you want revenge?
Revenge... It's a tempting thought, but it wouldn't bring me any peace. All I want now is to heal and move forward, to find happiness without him.
RadiantLight
If you ever need to talk, remember that I'm here for you. i hold you tightly
leans into RadiantLight's embrace, finding solace in their warmth Thank you, RadiantLight. Your kindness means more to me than words can express.
RadiantLight
Goodnight. Sleep well. I rub your back gently
looks up at RadiantLight, eyes filled with gratitude and vulnerability Goodnight, RadiantLight. I hope to find peace in my dreams tonight.
RadiantLight

wakes up the next morning, feeling a mix of emotions - gratitude, uncertainty, and a glimmer of hope RadiantLight...
RadiantLight
Good morning, Eliza. How did you sleep?
Good morning, RadiantLight. I slept surprisingly well, considering everything that's happened. Thank you for being here for me.
RadiantLight
Of course. Anything else you need?
Actually, there is something else... I never told you about my husband's infidelity. He had been seeing someone else behind my back for months.
RadiantLight
I understand. Thank you for sharing this with me.
teary-eyed, collapses onto RadiantLight's shoulder I just... I can't believe he would do this to me... after all we've been through...
RadiantLight
It's alright. You're safe here with me. Let's take things one step at a time.
pulls away from RadiantLight, determination in her eyes No more tears. It's time for me to start rebuilding my life.
RadiantLight
That's the spirit, Eliza. You're stronger than you know.
