Chapter 5: Healing and Truth

The weeks that followed weren’t simple.

There were questions.

Judgment.

Rumors.

Vanessa tried to reach out once.

I didn’t respond.

Because some lines, once crossed, don’t lead back.

Instead, I focused on what mattered.

Ellie.

We spent more time together.

Movie nights.

Park walks.

Lego castles rebuilt stronger than before.

One evening, she looked up at me and asked, “Are you ever going to get married again?”

I smiled gently.

“Maybe someday.”

“Will she be nice?”

I brushed her hair behind her ear.

“She’ll have to be someone who loves you as much as I do.”

May you like

Ellie smiled.

“Then she’ll be really nice.”
