Vivian finally relented, though she couldn't stop herself from adding, “Well, you have to promise to take care of yourself and Niki. Call me if you need anything at all.”

After dinner, Kirsten pulled Danielle out onto the balcony for a chat. A cool evening breeze drifted past them.

“Danielle, have you heard? The whole of Northridge City is buzzing about Alexander and Lorie’s engagement party. I hear it’s going to be an incredibly lavish affair, with all the big names invited,” Kirsten said, her tone full of gossip. “My parents and I got an invitation. Did you?”

Danielle shrugged, her voice neutral. “I did. I’m not going.”

“I knew you wouldn’t,” Kirsten said with a smile. “Those kinds of events are pointless anyway, just a bunch of fake pleasantries. You’re much better off now, with Niki, your career, and a great friend like Gian by your side. That’s better than anything.”

Looking out at the distant city lights, Danielle felt a profound sense of peace. “You’re right. I’m happy just the way things are. I don’t want to be dragged down by the past anymore.”

The next morning, Danielle took Niki to her new school to enroll. The campus was beautiful, with shady trees and a playground full of children.

The homeroom teacher was a kind woman who gave them a tour of the classroom and introduced them to the other kids. As Danielle led Niki inside, a familiar little figure caught her eye. Raffy was sitting by the window, reading a book.
