heaven, to run away from Tamer's ghost, which was haunting her thoughts…She wanted to run, and yet, she felt that she deserved the pain coming from both her hurt body and her messed-up soul.
    A meeting with Dr. Fahmi prepared her for her trip. She would start her residency i n France, and it would last at least two years. She called her mom to say goodbye. She didn't dare talk to her face-to-face. Which face did she want to show her mom? A liar’s or a murderer’s face? Every mirror showed her the shadow of a criminal, surrounded by ghosts…
    "Are you ready to leave?" Rheem repeated the question, concerned by her friend's silence. Nora was too quiet in Rheem's opinion, and she was concerned about her friend's sanity. They would forever share a secret that could completely destroy Nora’s reputation, a reputation that was already in shreds. ‘It's killing her right now,’ thought Rheem.
    "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go!" She hugged Rheem fiercely. "Oh, Rheem thank you for your support, for everything. I'll never forget what you did for me. And congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Sorry I can't stay longer. Good luck with everything!"
    "Good luck to you, Nora. Take care."
