Part 5/11:
Their struggles converged one day when Jamie reached out to Leanne in distress after Janet's sudden departure. It was a call marked by desperation as he questioned his worth and their tenuous bond. "Why can't anyone just love me for me?" he lamented. Leanne assured him his feelings were valid, but she felt the weight of her own unresolved emotions pressing against her heart. She wanted to help Jamie, but the echoes of her childhood rang loudly in her ears, reminding her of all she had sacrificed.
