Chapter 44 Fake Date

• As I sat in my warm living room, savoring each bite of my dinner while watching TV, my mind began to wander. I couldn't shake off the memory of Lorenzo's mother from this afternoon. She was so beautiful and even looked young, not at all what I had expected. Her radiant smile and warm eyes lingered in my thoughts.
• But as I delved deeper into the memory, my heart ached. I wished my own mother was still alive to see the strong, independent woman I was growing into. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I remembered my parents, who had left me too soon. The pain of their loss still lingered, a constant ache in my heart.
