The drive was an emotional whirlwind as I reflected on years of disputes with Luke and the surreal days I spent as a spirit after my death.

When the car came to a stop. I clutched the steering wheel, unable to step out.

For a moment, a sense of confusion washed over me.

Who am I?

Chloe? A spirit? Zoey?

Suddenly, the car door opened, and a rush of icy wind and snow poured in. Philippa's gentle voice followed. "Why are you still sitting here? I've been watching you from the porch for a while now." I looked up at her, my gaze clouded with bewilderment.

Philippa's warm hand rested on my forehead as she murmured, "No fever. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Her warmth pierced through the icy cold, pulling my scattered thoughts back into focus.

That's right-I had been reborn! The miserable Chloe of the past was gone.

I leaned into her embrace. "I'm fine. I just got lost in my thoughts for a bit."

My mother isn't Kate anymore. My mother is this gentle woman before me.

She patted my head affectionately. "It's been ages since you acted like this. It reminds me of how you used to be as a child."

I teased, I'll always be a little girl in your arms."

"As long as Mom's here, my Zoey can always be my little girl."

"Okay." I grinned up at her. "Mom, I brought you something.

I went to the trunk and brought out the clothes I had prepared. "These are for you. Try them on."

Unlike Kate, Philippa's response wasn't dismissive or coll.

I had tried before to salvage my estranged relationship with Kate by buying her gifts, but she would either ignore them entirely or respond with half-hearted indifference. Philippa smiled warmly. "Wow! My daughter is all grown up now. You even bought clothes for me. I'll have to try them all on-later."

"Mom, you have such a great figure, but you dress tooainly."

"I'm getting older, I have to dress appropriately for my age."

"Getting old? No way! You look like you're in your twenties. If we went out together, people would

definitely think you're my sister."

"When did you learn to sweet-talk like that? By the way, why didn't Carter come with you?"

There was a hint of worry in her tone-she probably thought our marriage was in trouble.

"He's been busy lately, but he'll come by later."

"That's good to hear."
