Her thoughts kept drifting back to her encounter with…
Upon landing in Dallas, as passengers disembarked, Karen saw Michael standing near the gate, speaking with a group of NorthStar executives.

Things that are just ours.” Mia nodded slowly, perhaps recalling times…
As the conversation continued, the girls seemed to genuinely understand the importance of personal boundaries. By the time Anna returned, the atmosphere was noticeably warmer. Sophie and Mia both promised to apologize to Kate and make an effort to include her without overstepping. Later, when Anna and I were alone, she sighed. “Maybe I was…
Anna nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Okay. Let’s try this your way.” It wasn’t an outright victory, but it was a start.
