Chapter 47 A Dream

• The sound of waves gently crashing against the shore filled the room as Natalie slept peacefully in her cozy coastal apartment. She had moved here to escape the chaos of her life in the city and found solace in the simplicity and tranquility of her new surroundings. Her days were filled with running her cosmetics business, spending time with her new friends, and preparing for the arrival of her twins. But at night, when the world was quiet, her mind often drifted back to memories she wished she could forget.
• On this particular night, Natalie fell into a deep sleep, and her dreams began to take shape. She found herself in a familiar place—a bustling mall that she used to frequent in the city. The sounds of shoppers chattering, the clinking of hangers as people browsed through clothes, and the hum of activity surrounded her. It was a place she hadn’t thought about in a long time, but now it felt so real, so vivid, as if she were truly there.
• Natalie wandered through the mall, her footsteps echoing on the polished floors. The mall was decorated for the holidays, with twinkling lights strung across the ceiling and festive displays in every store window. She felt a strange sense of nostalgia as she walked, a longing for something she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
