Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 315 After days of relentless rain and snow , the sun finally broke through this morning .

Rosie finished her breakfast and settled into the recliner by the window , facing outside .

With the New Year approaching , the normally quiet nursing home felt even emptier over the past few days .

But today , there was a buzz of activity in the courtyard , and one could faintly hear the sounds of laughter … Ms.

Miller , a caregiver approached , handing her a glass of water .

You should drink some Thank you , Rosie replied , holding the glass and inquiring .

Whats happening outside ! It sounds Lively .

Some folks are flying kites ! The weather is pretty nice today , the caregiver said , glancing out at the bright sun .

Why dont we step outside for some fresh air ? Since the day she had fallen into the water , Rosie had mostly stayed indoors , so a little fresh air wouldnt hurt .

Is that okay ? Rosies mind moved , but she was afraid that something would happen again .

I hope nothing goes wrong Dont worry , the caregiver reassured her with a confident grin .

Well just stay in the courtyard , wont go far .

This time , Ill keep a firm grip on you , I promise .

She laughed .

Rosie found herself smiling back .

Alright then .

Lets go As they stepped outside , the sounds of laughter grew louder .

Rosie smiled , Looks like there are a lot of people .

Yep , the caregiver responded .

Our courtyard is spacious , and folks from other areas have come over .

Plus , there are caregivers and staff here too It is really lively .

Rosie chimed in .

The caregiver grinned and asked , Ms.

Miller , do you want to fly a kite ? Can we do that ? Rosie felt a twinge of excitement .

But we dont have a kite .

Theyre handing them out over there , the caregiver said , hooking her an arm through Rosies , Come on , lets go grab one ! Sounds good ! The two hurried over and picked up a kite .

Once they had it in hand , the caregiver looked a little nervous .

How do we fly it ? Ah , Rosie chuckled , You dont know how to fly ? The caregiver shook her head and laughed at herself .

I was too caught up in the excitement ! Rosie remembered a time when Daniel had taught her how to fly a kite , but now , with her vision impaired and limited mobility , it wasnt as easy .

a familiar voice chimed in , as an arm reached out toward the caregiver
