The door of the venue slammed shut behind Anna, her exit abrupt and jarring against the night's chilly air. Richard instinctively moved to follow, his concern for her overwhelming the logic that she might just need a moment alone. But as he took a step forward, Ollie's hand gripped his arm, pulling him back.
"Let her go, Richard," Ollie said quietly, his tone firm but understanding. "She needs space. You pushing right now won't help."
Richard frowned, glancing between Ollie and the closed door. "You don't know how she copes. I can't just let her walk out like that."
"She probably just went back to the hotel," Paul added, stepping in. "Give her some time to cool down. If you go after her now, it'll only make things worse."
Till nodded in agreement. "She'll be fine. We'll check on her in a bit."
Reluctantly, Richard allowed himself to be persuaded, though the unease gnawing at him didn't dissipate. He looked at the door once more, silently willing Anna to be okay, before turning back to the group. They decided to finish wrapping up at the venue, each of them trying to shake off the tension that had settled over them like a heavy blanket.
Anna wandered aimlessly through the darkened streets of Odense, her breath coming in shallow, uneven gasps as the cold air bit at her skin. Her mind was a chaotic whirlpool of emotions—fear, anger, humiliation—spinning faster and faster until she felt like she might be torn apart by them.
Her phone was a lifeline and a weapon, its screen glowing harshly in the night as she scrolled through the Reddit thread that had shattered her sense of security. The leaked photos were there for anyone to see—intimate moments with Richard now laid bare for the world's scrutiny.
She stopped walking, her legs suddenly feeling too weak to carry her any further. The knot of anxiety in her chest tightened, making it hard to breathe, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the comments.
Engel_Lover: "I can't believe Richard's dating someone that young. Like, seriously? His oldest kids are older than her!"
HerzeleidFan: "Honestly, I'm happy for him. After all he's been through, he deserves some happiness. And Johanna seems like a sweet person."
Ramms+ein_Girl: "Sweet? She probably fucked her way into this job. There's no way she's their liaison just by chance."
ReiseReise_Dude: "I don't care what anyone says—if Richard's happy, then good for him. Age is just a number."
MutterLover56: "Disgusting. A 56-year-old with a 27-year-old? Come on, that's just creepy."
FeuerFrei_Chick: "I thought she was cool after what happened with that spiking incident, but now... I'm not so sure. Feels like she's just using him."
