Chapter 9 - Safe in Her Arms
One year after the day she walked out of the foyer with her black rolling suitcase, the morning sun shone brightly over a lush seaside park.
Teresa stood by the water, wearing an elegant summer dress, holding a warm cup of coffee as she watched Ethan laugh joyfully while playing with his new puppy on the grass.
Ethan ran over to her, his brown curly hair bouncing in the breeze, holding a bright yellow dandelion he had picked from the lawn.
"This is for you, Mommy!" Ethan said with a bright, radiant smile.
Teresa knelt down on the soft grass, pulling her son into a warm, protective embrace, kissing his forehead with deep maternal love.
"Thank you, my sweet boy," Teresa whispered softly, looking out at the clear blue horizon.
