[NEW] Haven was a trusting soul, always eager to believe the best in people. Maria, her closest and dearest friend, saw the changes in Haven and tried to warn him, but Haven was too wrapped up in the falsehoods to listen. Maria, feeling hurt and betrayed, began to distance herself, unable to bear watching Haven be led astray. The special friendship they once shared was lost, a casualty of the lies Haven had believed. The lies had not only stolen her sense of trust but had also cost him the friendship he cherished most. A painful reminder of how deception can unravel even the strongest of bonds.
