Sienna's POVI closed my eyes for a moment before opening the first page of the book in my hands. In front of me the children settled into a circle on the carpet that had been prepared for story time.A smile spread across my face as I looked at them. Their bright eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity."Are you all ready to hear a story?""We're ready!"Their cheerful voices echoed throughout the hall. I opened the page and smiled once more."Today Mommy is going to tell you a story about a mother who loved her child with all her heart."Silence immediately filled the room. Every child listened with attention."One day a little boy was. From that moment his mothers entire world changed. His first cry was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard.""From that day on every morning began with his smile. Every evening ended with his tiny hug."

Some of them happily yelled that they wanted to read every book I will ever write!"Mommy, please write another story.""Yes, Mommy.""I want a funny one."Their happy voices mixed together till the whole room was full of cheerful laughs. Being around them felt like being in a garden with many flowers bloomingI laughed freely before nodding several times."Alright.""Mommy makes a promise to keep writing tales for al͏l of you."Cheers quickly filled the room. Some kids even hugged their pals near them because they were just too happy.I stared at every one of them one by one.

Sienna's POV The days after the start of Noah Light Foundation seemed lighter than ever. Somewhere along the road, my everyday habit had silently turned into a part of my life I looked ahead to the most.Every day, I got to the place a bit before all other people. At times, I just sat on the front steps with a hot cup of tea - watching kids come in one by one.Some came to learn. Others went right to the library to look at books, while a few ran after one another around the courtyard with happy giggles.Each time I heard those happy sounds, a grin came to my face. There was a time when I was scared that laughter would just make me think of Noah.Now it was a new way to think of him. Each happy laugh seemed like a soft nudge that his love stayed alive.Noah was away. Six years had gone by since the day I missed him, and six years had gone by since I last held him in my arms.These six years showe

Sienna's POV A few kids from the group ran by us while chasing each other. A small boy halted when he saw the flowers piled on the table."Mommy Sienna, these flowers are so pretty."I faced him and softly patted his head. Their being there slowly brought me back to the real world."They really are. We will plan them all together later.""Yay."The small kid ran off with joy to find his pals. Their giggles filled the space and took away the quiet around me.The boy looked at them with a small grin. Kindness filled his face while he saw the kids having fun together."This place is so lively."I nodded gently. My voice didn't shake this time."It is. They all live here."His look moved to the yard again. A few kids were having fun on swings while some sat under a tree reading books with each other."It's nice to see them so happ

Sienna's POV Since Joshua went from Noah Light Foundation that day my thoughts wouldn't calm down. No matter how much I tried to think of other things, my mind just kept going back to that quick meeting.I was still in the same room. The blooms Joshua sent were nicely set next to the window, and many had been put into big jars by the team to beautify a main hall of the foundation.I ought to have felt glad. The blooms were pretty, and they gave warmth to each part of the place.Yet each time my eyes fell on them, the one thing I could see was the face of a young man who stood before me just a few hours ago. His picture stuck in my head like it would not go away.Joshua.A deep breath came out from my mouth. Why couldn't I stop thinking of him?I didn't even know him at all. I had no clue who his family was, where he stayed or what type of life he led.The one thing͏ I knew was his

Sienna's POV I stayed quiet. Liam was not a person I could trick easily.At last, I took a deep breath. There was no use acting anymore."A man delivered flowers to the foundation today."Liam nodded slowly."And?"I looked down at my hands. My fingers squeezed together without me thinking."His name is Joshua."Liam sat quietly for me to keep going. He never hurried me when I had a hard time to talk.I swallowed hard."He-"The words didn't want to show up. Telling about what I felt was͏ a lot tougher than I thought."He looks so much like Noah."Liam's face changed fast. Shock showed on his face then worry slowly took its place.I hurried to continue before he misunderstood."I'm not saying they are really the same but his face, eyes, even the way he smiles."My v

Sienna's POVI got up that morning because the part of the bed next to me was empty. I blinked a few times as I slowly opened my eyes.The wall clock said it was just a bit after six. At this time, Liam was mostly still lying next to me.We would say a soft good morning. Then we ate breakfast before we went for our own fun.This morning was odd. Quick steps rang from below.I quickly put on a thin sweater before I left the room. My eyes looked in the hall while I softly called out."Liam."No answer came. I walked down stairs and found Liam standing near a front door.His suit was already neat. His bag was in one hand and his phone stayed pressed to his ear."Yes. I'll be there right away."His tone seeme͏d grave. There was even a hint of fear in it.I halted a bit back from him. My eyes stayed locked on his face."Liam."

Sienna's POV A few minutes later, my phone vibrated once more. The display on my dashboard showed Liam's name.My heart immediately began beating a little faster. I quickly accepted the call."Hello.""Sienna."Liam's voice sounded rushed. Faint conversations and doors opening and closing could be heard in the background."Have you left already?""Yes.""I'm on my way to the bookstore."Liam fell silent for a few moments. It sounded as though he was thinking carefully before speaking again."Drive safely.""Alright. Have you had breakfast?"A faint smile appeared on my face. Even though he had rushed out that morning, he still remembered something as simple as that."I have. What about you?""I have too."His answer was short. Nothing more followed. "I might be home a little late."I nodded even though he couldn't see me. My voice remained steady."That's alright. If you still have a lot of work to do, just finish

Sienna's POV Three days had passed. Three days since I saw Liam walk out of that bar with the young woman. For three days, I kept telling myself that maybe I had misunderstood everything. Maybe there was an explanation. Maybe things were not what they had seemed. The harder I tried to forget that moment, the more vividly it returned to my mind. The embrace stayed with me. Their closeness lingered in my thoughts. Liam's expression had looked so serious. I never asked him about it. It wasn't because I didn't want to. I was afraid. Afraid of hearing an answer I wouldn't be able to accept. Lately, Liam had been coming home later and later. Every time I asked, his answer was always the same. "I have work." I simply nodded. Silence slowly settled between us once again. I didn't know when we had become so used to living with that silence. No matter how busy Liam used to be, we always found time to tal

Sienna's POV"Mrs. Sienna."I turned around in shock. Joshua had approached me without a second thought, and the second he saw the blood on my hand, his face paled in horror."Oh no."The second his worried gaze landed on me, his face tightened with alarm."How did this happen?"I just stared at him. The words just weren't working.Joshua reached into his pocket without any hesitation and pulled out a clean handkerchief, unfolding it gently."May I see it?"Before I could respond, he gently took my hand with both of his."You cut yourself with the shears?"That was all I could do, nod my head in response.Joshua released a long sigh of relief after examining the wound. His shoulders dropped with happiness. "You really..."He shook his head, almost laughing at the situation"You're
