Elena "Lenny" Navarro was the kind of woman who learned early to keep her distance. Growing up in a chaotic home with a hardworking mother and absent father, she quickly figured out that survival meant being the one who never needed anyone. By the time she was eighteen, she was already studying law, driven by the belief that education was the only way out. People knew her as the sharp, ambitious one—the lawyer with the perfect résumé and the perfectly curated life. They didn’t know the price she paid to get there, the sacrifices that had nothing to do with work and everything to do with the people she left behind. Lenny had built herself into someone untouchable, someone who could shut out the noise and push through the pain. But deep down, she knew it was a façade. The walls she’d built around herself were strong, but they were lonely, and sometimes, when the silence was too much, she wondered if she’d gone too far, if she’d lost more than she’d gained. But she wasn’t the type to look back. She’d made her choices, and no one was going to make her regret them—not even herself.
