Sabrina’s POV

Nicholas pulled his chair closer to my bed. His face was serious, but there was no sign of anger or irritation. There was only sadness in his eyes. He raised his hand as if he wanted to take mine but hesitated.

“I just want to know how you feel,” he said softly. His voice was soft as if he was afraid of hurting.

I stared at him, trying to absorb every word that came out of his mouth. “I… don’t know,” I answered honestly. “There’s so much going on.”

Nicholas sighed, nodding slowly. “We can talk about it. I’m here for you.”

His words warmed my heart, and though the pain I felt was still there, his presence provided some comfort.

“Sabrina, listen to me,” he said in a soft but firm tone. “I know I’m not perfect. I know I haven’t been paying attention to you as much as I should have. But don’t ever think that I’m here because I have to. I choose to be here. For you.”

His words brought tears to my eyes again. I

    Nicholas’s POV The sound of small footsteps coming down the stairs caught my attention. I knew that sound anywhere. Charlie. He was up earlier than usual. I quickly left the bedroom and found him in the kitchen, sitting sleepily in front of an untouched bowl of cereal.“Dad…” he mumbled softly.I smiled and gently ruffled his hair. “Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?”Charlie nodded. “I dreamed about Mom Hazel. She smiled and said she missed me.”My heart clenched. His words were simple, innocent, but they carried a weight only we truly understood. I leaned down, kissed his forehead, and said, “Mom Hazel surely misses you a lot too.”Charlie gave a small smile and went back to stirring his breakfast absentmindedly. But I could tell his mind was far away—maybe imagining a time when he could hug Hazel again, or just see her face without a glass wall and heavy security in between.A moment later, Sabrina entered the kitchen with two cups of tea.

    Nicholas’s POV I woke up earlier than usual this morning. The air in the room was still cool, and the faint scent of tea lingering from the cup on the small table told me that Sabrina had stayed up late last night. Beside me, her body was still curled under the blanket. Her face looked peaceful, but I knew her mind hadn’t truly found peace in recent days. I gently brushed a strand of her hair, letting her stay asleep.Carefully, I rose from the bed, making sure not to make any noise. I walked toward the window, opened the curtains just slightly, and let the morning light seep into the room. The sky was a pale blue, and I could hear birds chirping faintly in the distance. For a moment, the world felt calm. But I knew today would be filled with difficult conversations, major decisions, and truths that could no longer be hidden.My thoughts drifted back to last night’s conversation. Sabrina’s words lingered—how she wanted Charlie to grow up knowing every part of his life,

    Sabrina’s POV In the car, I let out a long sigh. I wiped my face a few times. It felt hard to breathe. Memories of the beginning—the time when it was just me, Nicholas, and Charlie—rushed back into my mind. How hard it was to build that little family from ruins. But what turned out to be even harder… was keeping it together. Charlie. He was the center of everything. I thought of his face that morning—hopeful and innocent when he told me he dreamt about meeting Mama Hazel. A dream. Even in his dreams, she still lived in his world. What should I do? Pretend those dreams would stop on their own? Or let Charlie know that the world isn’t as simple as he believes—that sometimes, the people we love are behind bars, and we can’t even hug them? The car stopped in front of the school. I gathered my courage before stepping out. I knew I was about to see Charlie and Nicholas. And I had to say something. Maybe not everything, but enough to ease my son’s h

    Sabrina’s POV I held my breath for a moment, then said softly, “I didn’t come here to forgive or forget everything that happened. I came here because of Charlie. Because he doesn’t need two women who hate each other. He needs the truth. And he needs his mother. Whoever that may be, he deserves to know.” We sat in silence after that. No words, only the kind of silence that weighs heavier than any conversation. I wanted to hug her, but the glass barrier and security rules stood between us. “I’ll help,” I said at last. “But you need to help yourself too, Hazel. Don’t drown in guilt or fear. Rise. Stand. Prove that you deserve a second chance.” Hazel looked at me for a long time. Then she slowly nodded. “Thank you… for coming.” I gave her a small smile. “I didn’t come to hurt you. I came to fix… something. For Charlie’s sake.” As I stood up to leave, my eyes caught our reflection in the glass—a mirror showing two women who onc

    Sabrina’s POV After all the procedures were done, I was asked to sit in a small, silent waiting room. The walls were dull, the benches hard, and time seemed to slow to a crawl. Each passing second made my heart beat faster. My fingers clutched tightly at the small purse I brought, though it contained nothing but tissues and lip balm. But maybe I just needed something to hold on to—a grip to keep me from crumbling under the weight of emotions I had long buried. I tried to steady my breathing. I couldn’t come in here with anger. I couldn’t bring vengeance. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t be honest about my feelings. This meeting with Hazel wasn’t about blaming her or demanding an explanation. I just wanted to look into her eyes. To hear the truth directly from her—without lawyers, without filters. Maybe, only then, I could truly understand. Was she really guilty? Did she feel any remorse? Did she still think about Charlie when the

    Sabrina’s POV The thought had come to me early that morning, when I saw Charlie staring quietly out the window. He didn’t say a word—just sat there, clutching his small dinosaur plushie. But I knew he was still thinking about Hazel. And for the first time, I felt that maybe… I had to do something I never thought I would do: visit Hazel.The thought wouldn’t leave. It clung to me even as I tried to stay busy with chores. I washed the dishes while sneaking glances at Charlie, still sitting under the window, holding his plush tightly. His eyes were fixed far away, toward the garden still damp with morning dew, as if hoping the person he missed would suddenly appear there.I knew what it felt like to wait for someone who never came. And I knew that no matter how much love I gave, it would never completely replace the place a biological mother held in his heart.My hand froze in the sink. The water still ran, but my thoughts had drifted far—to a place I had always avoide
