登入Emily's POV
I stood with my back to Willy, still watching the city’s reflection in the glass. Silence hung thick and suffocating. Several seconds passed before I heard his hesitant footsteps approaching, as if afraid to disturb the storm that hadn’t fully passed.“Miss,” he called carefully.I didn’t answer.“This apartment feels too quiet when you’re like this,” he continued, trying to start a conversation without touching the flame of my anger. “Maybe you’d like to sit dowFive years later."Come on, don't run fast."I laughed as I chased children racing around the playground. Their joyful laughter echoed throughout every corner of the foundation.The swings moved back and forth without stopping. The slide was never empty.Several children played tag across the grass that had once been nothing more than an empty field covered with wild weeds.I paused for a moment to catch my breath. My eyes slowly lifted toward the building standing proudly before me.Five years had passed. It hardly felt long since Sienna and Liam cut the ribbon on the day this foundation officially opened.Now this place was truly alive. A small clinic stood on the side providing daily healthcare for the children and nearby residents.Next to it was a school where cheerful voices of teachers and students filled the classrooms every day. The second floor held the children'
Sienna's POVA few months had. The construction was finally done. I stood in front of the gate holding my breath.The building that I had only dreamed of now stood in front of me. Seeing it with my eyes still felt like a dream.There were trees lined up in the front yard. Swings and slides were already set up in the playground.The sun was shining through the windows and making every room warm. Inside there was a library with lots of books on the shelves.There was a study room. The kitchen was clean and welcoming.A simple clinic was ready. The bedrooms were warm and cozy waiting for the kids who would live here.I had tears in my eyes. I never thought I would be standing here one day.Liam came up behind me. Took my hand. His presence made me feel calm."What are you thinking about?" I. Looked at the building again. Every part of it meant something to
Sienna's POV My days started to shift. If I used to get up each day with a full chest and no thoughts, I now got up with a big list of stuff I wanted to do.After eating breakfast with Liam we spent most days at the building site. The old house that was once covered in tall grass was now filled with sounds of hammers, cutting machines and laughter from workers.I had on a white hard hat that was a bit too large for me. Looking at my face in the car glass made me laugh to myself."What is it?" Liam asked with a grin. His eyes followed me as I looked at my reflection."I look funny."He moved his head softly. His look stayed quiet and true."No.""You look like a director."I chuckled a bit. The noise came out before I could hold i͏t back."A leader who yet can't spot the gap between stone glue and dust."Liam laughed with me. His smile only
Liam's POV I nodded slowly. My eyes stayed on her as she held the folder."You told me you wanted to become a mother to children who need one. So I thought we don't have to wait too long to make that dream come true."Tears slowly filled Sienna's eyes. She turned to the next page with trembling fingers."There are three locations here that I think would be suitable. One is near the city and another is in a coastal area.""The last one is in a region where access to healthcare is still limited. I deliberately looked for a place that truly needs help."She slowly closed the folder. Her tearful eyes met mine."You already did all this?"I smiled. There was only one answer I could give her."Because I believe in your dream.""Now it's my dream too."Sienna wrapped her arms tightly around me. I could feel her body trembling ever so slightly."Thank you."Her voice was barely above a whisper against my shoulder."Thank you for alway
Liam's POVAs the auto came into the path, I looked at Sienna as she stared at our home through the glass. A small grin was on her face, but this time it wasn't full of the sadness I had noticed last time we left a place.She took a big breath. Then she gazed at me with kind eyes."Finally we're home."I nodded while I grasped her hand. My fingers squeezed hers."Yeah.""We're home."We went in together. A couple of months back, this home seemed like a jail to Sienna because each part reminded her of Noah until she slowly lost herself.Now I saw her glide softly from one room to the next. There was no fear and no urgent look for Noah's figure in every spot of the house.She still stopped in front of a family photo. Her fingers softly touched the edge of the frame before a small smile showed up on her face."I'm back, dear," she said softly as if talking to Noah. There was no crying, just a wish she could now keep with calm joy.Heat filled my chest as I saw her. That one moment was en
Sienna's POV I took a breath and my heart felt really calm. "I want to be a mother again, Liam." Liam stopped walking. Looked at me with shock on his face. "Sienna." I shook my head gently. I did not want him to get the idea. "Don't worry that is not what I mean!" I held his hands in mine. My voice was soft. "I met a boy a few days ago then I saw where he lived and his younger brothers and sisters. I saw how they were living." My eyes started to fill with tears because the memories were still really clear. "They do not have food, they are sick and some of them can not even get the help they need because their parents can not afford it." I looked into Liam's eyes. My heart felt heavier. "I keep thinking about them. I wonder if our son Noah was still here, maybe he would want us to help them
Sienna's POV I informed him that if the battery is small, robots will not be able to fly. Noah shook his arms and nearly hit his glass while being told to make the battery bigger.Without delay, I shunned the glass. "Sad heart, everyone." Liam advised Noah to eat first, using a gent
Sienna's POV I stopped for a moment, pretending to fixate on the soup. Why? He said it with clarity, but there was a chill in my heart.I divided the hot soup into two bowls and placed them on the table after a few minutes. Then we started eating, and I was sitting facing him.I smil
Sienna's POV I left the supermarket with two shopping bags and admired the evening sky, which was muted golden orange in color. I looked at the watch on my wrist. It was almost three o'clock. Then it hit me. Noah.He started attending the new school today.Liam was supposed to pick
Sienna's POV I took a deep breath, trying to soothe the sudden surge in my heart. The handles of the shopping bags made me feel like I was holding my hands. The sight of small faces rushed past me, and I kept my attention on the first-grade classroom door. They were all waiting for me.A
