Cht 7: A New Chapter Unfolds

_Scene 82: Leo's Defensiveness_

Leo's instincts kick in, and she becomes defensive. "I don't need your help or advice," she tells Jane, her voice firm but shaking slightly. "I can make my own decisions."

Jane nods understandingly. "I know you can, Leo. But sometimes we need someone to remind us of what's truly important. Don't give up on your happiness, Leo. You deserve so much more than a loveless marriage."

Leo feels a surge of anger and frustration. Who is Jane to tell her what she wants? But as she looks into Jane's eyes, she sees only kindness and concern.

"I don't need your help or advice," Leo repeats, her voice firmer this time. "Just leave me alone, Jane. This is none of your business."

"She's really going to do it, isn't she?" Amy asks, feeling a lump form in her throat. "She's going to marry him and throw away our chance at happiness."

Jane nods sympathetically. "I'm so sorry, Amy. I thought for sure Leo would see sense."

Amy waits anxiously for a response, her mind racing with possibilities. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Leo responds.
