Chapter 102 Aria

• For the first time in my life, I catch a glimpse of what my life could be like with Alexander and my children together—a happy family. My heart warms as I watch Alexander hoist Elowen onto his shoulders like a little rider while Thorne holds his hand, animatedly chatting about his favorite characters. Elowen plays with Alex’s black hair, and he doesn’t seem to mind at all.
• We stroll along the boardwalk until we reach a part of the beach where the waves are calmer and safer for the children. The scene unfolding before me is perfect. My children are happy, Alexander is happy, and I am happy.
• Once we settle on the sand, Alexander helps me apply sunscreen to the kids. We’re in perfect sync, as if we’ve done this together a hundred times, without me needing to explain anything.
