Feeling the weight of their judgmental stares bearing down on her, Ava squared her shoulders and lifted her chin, refusing to let their scrutiny shake her resolve. Though her heart may have been heavy with pain and betrayal, she refused to allow herself to be consumed by shame or regret.

With determined strides, Ava walked past the staff, her gaze fixed firmly ahead as she made her way towards the exit. She could feel their eyes following her every move, their whispers trailing after her like a haunting echo, but she paid them no mind.

For Ava knew that her worth was not defined by the opinions of others, that her strength lay in her resilience and determination to forge her own path forward.
