She Can Stand Alone
Louisa was in fact at the same restaurant. She was across the room secretly hidden with a perfect shot of Richie and his table for one. She lets out a smirk as she watches him read the note and fixated on the photo. Louisa pays her bill and gets up. She discretely walks past Richie but he doesn’t notice. Maybe it was the guilt, or maybe it was the embarrassment; either way, he looked pretty distracted.
As Louisa leaves the bar, she holds her head high as a strong woman who has survived trauma and come out the other side, a good person who lovers herself and others. Finally, she can now stand alone.
