Sienna’s POV

When dinner ended, I stared at the table, now filled with empty plates. It had been a long time since I'd felt such warmth. Something as simple as eating together was so meaningful.

I smiled slightly, though I didn't dare look directly at Liam. What was certain was that tonight, I knew there was a part of me wavering again, one that desperately wanted to believe that this togetherness was still possible.

"I'll clean this up," Liam said, standing up. His hands were already reaching for some dirty plates.

I instinctively stood up too. "Let me help. At least I can…"

But my sentence was cut off by Liam's sharp yet gentle glance. "No need. You've been tired enough today. Trust me, you'll be a huge help if you just go to bed."

I fell silent, my lips parting slightly, then closing again with a soft sigh. I felt a small debate brewing inside me between wanting to express my gratitude through action and accepting the fact that my

What happened?”"I looked at her with some astonishment, and she said yes," I could. “I've just completed a manuscript for securing prestigious writing competitions.”"I'm glad to hear that," she exclaimed softly.

    Sienna's POV Liam spruced up his son's hair with a soft, head-shape. "All right, all right, and let us get inside first. Grandma's garden isn't going anywhere." Their exchange was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. The tension that had been lingering was no longer as strong. Mrs. Wilson's eyes were filled with tenderness, reminiscent of a grandmother's sentence when she saw her son and grandson together again.With a soft whisper, she told me that Liam had undergone significant changes. She pointed out that it was difficult for him to communicate with someone like him in the past.His ability to laugh with ease is remarkable.I smiled faintly. “Yes. I've noticed it too, Mom. He's gentler now." Slowly nodding, Mrs. Wilson replied, “Maybe I just have to thank you.”I ceased speaking, my gaze flickered at Liam, who was now giving Noah up in his arms. They were sweet and heavy, yet they held a gentle weight on my chest. I wasn’t sure I deser

    Sienna's POV As the car came to a stop just before the large house, I felt my heart rate slightly rise. Then it fell.After switching off the engine, Liam looked at me and asked, "Are you prepared?" I took a deep breath, trying to relax my nerves. "Ah, okay. I'm prepared." Noah was already impatient and sat in the back seat. "Mommy, please!" Trying to unbuckle his seatbelt alone, I said, "I want to see my grandmother!" While standing up.Liam aided him by smiling and offering assistance. "Noah, take it easy. You will be greatly appreciated by your grandmother.”Upon opening the window, I observed an expansive front garden with neat ornamental plants on either side. The view was stunning. The porch lights that illuminated the cream walls made it feel as though the house had been freshly slept. It was quite cozy and comfortable at the same time. There was only a small shadow of someone behind the curtain, who might be Liam's mother, waiting for us.Out

    Sienna's POV I smiled, a little pouty. "Uh oh, you didn't go to cream with Mommy?!" Noah's eyes caught with excitement as he gazed at me and quickly said, "Mommy, I saved some for you!" He seemed afraid that I would be upset.My laughter accompanied my pins and his cheek. "Oh, no! could even be heard. What a good boy." With laughter streaming out of me, Noah quickly slid into my arms and ran towards the coffee table. He then opened his bag to present me with something special. "I received a gold star today," he said, while smooching on.I gazed at him and exclaimed, "That's fantastic! Mommy's so proud of you." His eyes shone and he dashed to the kitchen, saying, "Let me put this on the fridge for my father!" He exclaimed.His lively little form occupied my gaze as I watched, still wincing and smiling. Noah's presence always made the house feel more lively, with his laughter and footsteps filling any empty space that had previously filled.Footstep

    Sienna's POV A couple of young adults shared a slice of cake and laughed at each other on the same table. They seemed so uncomplicated and effortless, as if the world held no importance. I smiled watching them. I thought maybe I had forgotten what it was like just to sit with someone and have a good time, not worrying about tomorrow. However, I am now inclined towards learning again slowly.The same clerk came to my table, carrying the completed cake. “Your cake is done already!” She replied. With a sweet and simple design, the cake was beautifully decorated and displayed with an indelible message of appreciation.I inspected it briefly, then smiled with pride. It's possible that I was meant to receive those words as well as Liam' mother, for the small act of bravery that had propelled me forward.A few minutes later, the cake was neatly boxed up in a cream envelope tied back with soft pink ribbon. I made the payment, thanked the clerk, and left the building.A

    Sienna's POV Our conversation with Liliana lasted almost two hours before we parted ways in front of the café. Her smile was typical of hers, and I gave her a gentle wave.Prior to getting into her car, she urged people not to forget about their vacation."I chuckled and nodded in agreement. Let's go over it." As she drove off, I stood on the sidewalk for a moment. I was under the gentle peat-and-white breeze from the afternoon, with lingering coffee aromas from downstairs and the scent of fresh flowers from outside. I wasn't ready to go home yet. I experienced a warm yet nervous sensation when I remembered Liam's words about his mother wanting to meet me that morning. This was a heartfelt sentiment.As I walked, I felt the gentle sun set behind me and gently patted my face on the sidewalk. Despite the busy traffic across the street, there were only a few sounds of footsteps, engine noises, and laughter from dozens of students as they exited one of the bookstor
