Now, Mia descended the stairs, ready for school. Amidst the bustling schoolyard, Olivia’s nerves tingled. She needed answers from Daisy.
“It’ll be okay, Mom,” Mia reassured her, sensing Olivia’s unease.
In Daisy’s classroom, Olivia laid eyes on the curly-haired girl, a spitting image of Amelia. Every feature echoed her long-lost sister. Olivia knew Daisy was family.
As they spoke, Daisy revealed she knew Olivia was her aunt. “Mom always spoke of her family, of you, Aunt Olivia,” Daisy said, her eyes sparkling with recognition.
Their conversation unveiled Amelia’s journey, her fears, and dreams of reconciliation. Daisy’s smile mirrored Olivia’s realization—their reunion was a dream come true.
Later that evening, they gathered around the dinner table, bridging the chasm of years past. Stories intertwined, laughter echoed, and children played in the backyard—a tableau of familial harmony restored.
What a journey, Olivia mused. And now, they were whole again.
