And like I said, it's all in the past now."Ruben, grappling with the newfound information, responded with a mix of disbelief and concern, "This isn't making any sense because I know Elvin very well, and Layla too.""Or maybe she's not the one, then. Maybe someone else," Isabella suggested, her words leaving room for uncertainty."Okay," Ruben said, still processing the revelation.
