Sarah laughed gently and looked down at Alex. “I’m sorry, sweetie, but it’s really late. I can’t cook tonight. How about we eat what the maids made for us, and I’ll make your favorite dish in the morning?

Alex hesitated, but his stomach growled again, reminding him of how hungry he was.

He nodded reluctantly, but his smile returned. “Okay, Mommy. But tomorrow, promise?”

“I promise,” Sarah said, her voice warm and reassuring.

They sat down for dinner together, and Alex’s mood seemed to brighten as they ate.

Despite everything that had happened, Sarah still found comfort in these quiet moments with her son

She wasn’t sure what the future held, but for tonight, this was enough.

The next morning, as Sarah was preparing breakfast, Alex’s tablet, which he had carelessly left on the couch, began to ring.

Sarah paused, her heart tightening for a moment.

But she quickly looked away, pretending she hadn’t seen it.

She didn’t want to make anything of it.

Just then, Alex came downstairs, a bright smile on his face.

He was typing away on his tablet, but as soon as he saw Sarah, he quickly hid the screen from view.

“Breakfast is ready, come downstairs,” Sarah said, trying to keep her voice light.

Alex grinned and jumped out of bed. “It’s been so long since I had aa made by Mom. Yay!”

Sarah chuckled as she plated the food, a warmth filling her heart.
