The night was amazing, but it didn't end the moment Fiona closed the front door.
Fiona did not realise her mother Elara had been standing by the living room window the entire time, curtains slightly parted, watching the scene unfold on the driveway. She was busy preparing a light dinner and offer quiet support, but when she heard the car pull up, something made her pause and look outside instead of calling out.
What she saw made her heart clench with a storm of emotions.
Fiona and Caleb stood under the soft glow of the porch light. Caleb had just kissed Fiona first a tender kiss on the forehead, then a slow, meaningful kiss on the lips. The way he held her was protective yet gentle, one hand resting carefully near her waist as if shielding the small life growing inside her. Fiona leaned into him completely, her arms wrapped around his neck, looking more at peace and radiant than Elara had seen her in months.
