Sienna’s POV

The night sky had just settled when we arrived at the small restaurant tucked into a quiet corner of the city. The place wasn’t busy—only two or three tables were occupied in distant corners. The rest remained empty, bathed in the soft glow of amber pendant lights hanging gently from the wooden ceiling. We chose a table outside, beneath the open sky, even though tonight, not even the moon cared to show itself.

I leaned back against the chair, folding my arms across my stomach, and tilted my head up. My gaze pierced the darkness above, toward a sky so still and black. No stars. No moon. Just an endless void—eerily familiar, like a mirror to the emptiness inside me.

The sky tonight felt like a reflection of my soul.

It wasn’t long before Liliana returned from inside, balancing two trays of food. The scent of butter and sautéed onions followed her, but I couldn’t bring myself to lift a spoon.

She placed our orders down carefully, then sat across from me, raising an eye

    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

    Sienna's POV After a brief glance, Liam replied with an affirmative, "Alright. Please reach out to me after you've finished.”The door was closed with a gentle nod as I nodded in anticipation. While he drove away, I watched his car pass by in front of the café and stared at my reflection through the glass window. There was a face that seemed to be more composed and alive in the reflection.My heart didn't feel cold, even though the air in the middle of the afternoon still had a soft chill. I felt a sense of lighterness after talking about everything in the car, including the meeting tonight. Maybe I had finally gotten over the feeling of being disconnected from everything.I turned around and saw a small sign that said Bloom & Brew Café. The place wasn't very big, but it always had a good vibe. With the glass open, I could hear some people chatting over coffee, and each time it opened, the door held out with the sweet scent of cinnamon and caramel.The handle of
