****************Aubrey's pov****************** As the plane lowered onto the runway, a tumultuous wave of emotions surged within me—sadness, strength, determination. The wheels touched down with a gentle thump, but my mind was anything but calm. Returning to this place felt like walking into the eye of a storm that had nearly destroyed me, yet I was no longer the vulnerable person who had left three years ago. I was now a tempered and resilient force. Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself of my purpose for coming here: to reclaim everything that was taken from me and to exact the vengeance I had meticulously plotted.

Is she trying to commit incest? How vile!] [Don’t cry, Penny. You did nothing wrong. The one at fault is that hag!] One unbearable comment after another flooded my vision. When I thought about how Felicity had endured such abuse every single day while she was still alive, I was reminded of the cyberbullying I had suffered in my past life. Even though ‘Rose Denning’ was already dead, these people still refused to let me go.

Instead, he tumbled onto the ground. Coby froze. A week ago, Elijah had rushed to Frank and Diane's house in the middle of the night, yanked him out of bed, and told him that his mother wasn't dead. She was still alive, so he needed to behave himself and win her back. Still half-asleep, Coby hadn't understood why he had to win his mother back when she loved him so much. Sure, he had said hurtful things to her because of Juliette, but if he apologized, wouldn't that fix everything?

They were so clingy, refusing to let me go until Ezra silenced them with a cold glare. So much had changed. I wasn’t the girl who had woken up in that hospital bed, fragile and dependent. No, I was someone new, someone independent. I had proven that I didn’t need anyone to define me. Now, I'm back to stay. “Mom.” A soft voice whispered beside me.

I knew he'd resume his annoying habit of following me around like a shadow upon his return. The highlight of this week was Jonathan's homecoming.

“Ten years ago, I lost my husband and daughters in a fire. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. Coming here makes me feel close to them.” Jessica felt a wave of sadness wash over her. “I’m so sorry, Brenda. That’s awful.” Brenda nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Thank you, Jessica. This place helps me heal, just like it’s helping you.” They walked in silence for a while, each lost in their thoughts. When they made their way back to the cabin, Jessica felt a deep sense of belonging.
