After chatting for a while, Natalie asked, “How are you doing recently? Are you feeling better? Has the baby adapted to the climate there?”

Upon departing from Barnes, Laney found solace in a dwelling close to Teresa’s abode.

Blessed with Teresa’s camaradene and Ian’s unwavering support, Laney flourished in the vibrant atmosphere of the unfamiliar city.

Anya, a remarkably well-mannered infant, rarely disturbed the night with her cries.

Ian’s round-the-clock devotion to the child allowed Laney to cast her maternal concerns aside.

Surrounded by such warmth and liberty, Laney experienced a profound rejuvenation of body and spirit.

Her separation from Garrett sparked an epiphany: a woman must forge her own career and refuse to relinquish it for the whims of romance.

This newfound wisdom propelled Laney to devote her leisure hours to Teresa’s burgeoning security enterprise.

Her wealth of expertise proved invaluable, catalyzing the company’s rapid expansion.

As the ranks of bodyguards swelled, Teresa resolved to create a distinct uniform for her employees.

Laney instantly thought of Natalie, whose recent venture into fashion design was ripe for collaboration.

Thus, Laney introduced Natalie to Teresa.

Upon witnessing Natalie’s extraordinary portfolio, Teresa’s satisfaction knew no bounds, and she promptly commissioned the uniforms.

Learning of Laney’s thriving state, relief washed over Natalie.

“I’m so glad you’ve found your footing in the new city.”

Natalie’s thoughts then drifted towards Garrett.

Ever since Laney’s departure, Garrett had become consumed by his work, his relentless drive leaving even Brandon in awe.
