Gilded Hearts Chapter 91
Sophia POVFor the first time in a very long time-, I woke up feeling completely at peace,.Not the temporary kind of peace that came after finishing a difficult meeting or completing a stressful task,.A real kind of peace,.The kind where my mind was quiet before my eyes even opened,.I stayed still for a few moments-, staring at the ceiling while the soft morning sunlight slipped through the curtains and filled the bedroom with a warm golden glow,.Usually-, my mornings began with my phone,.A list of responsibilities that seemed to grow longer every day.But today was different.There was no rush.No pressure.No immediate need to become the version of myself that everyone expected me to be.I turned slightly and looked around the room.This apartment had once felt temporary.A place I was staying because life had brought me here,.London had once been a city where every street felt unfamiliar and every face belonged to a stranger,.But somewhere along the way-, things had changed

Sophia POVLondon had changed with the seasons,.The vibrant greens of summer had slowly faded into warm shades of amber and crimson-, painting the streets in colours that somehow made the city feel softer,. Every morning, the crisp autumn breeze slipped through the slightly opened kitchen window-, carrying with it the comforting scent of rain and freshly baked bread from the bakery downstairs,.Six months ago...Everything about this city had felt unfamiliar.Today...It felt like home.Not because it had replaced New York.Or because it had erased my past.But because somewhere between quiet mornings, long walks along the Thames, yoga classes, and countless evenings spent learning how to be alone...I had found myself again.Well...A new version of myself.One that smiled a little more.Worried a little less.And carried a tiny heartbeat beneath her own.A gentle flutter against my stomach pulled me from my thoughts.I immediately placed both hands over the curve of my growing baby
