Aurora let out an awkward laugh, quickly hopping off the bed as her son stared at her curiously. She crouched
slightly to meet his gaze and offered a hurried explanation. “Momma wasn’t playing, sweetie. | saw a big spider
on the floor, and it startled me. That's why | screamed and jumped on the bed.”
Grandma Marie froze in place, her eyes widening in alarm. “A spider? Where is it?” she shrieked, glancing
nervously around the room.
Seeing her grandmother's reaction, Aurora rushed over to her and gently grabbed her hand. “Grandma, it's okay.
It’s gone now. The spider is gone,” she said in a soothing voice.
Still unconvinced, Grandma Marie darted one last wary look around the room. “You... just wash up and come
down for breakfast,” she said cautiously, holding onto little Auroraze’s hand as she guided him out of the room.
Aurora nodded, smiling softly as she watched them leave.
Once the door closed, she let out a breath of relief and flopped back onto her bed. Lying on her back and staring
up at the ceiling, she felt a giggle bubble up inside her. The memory of Parker's heartfelt confession echoed in
her mind: “I love you, Aurora.”
Her lips curled into a smile as she giggled uncontrollably, clutching a pillow to her chest. The overwhelming
happiness she felt was something she hadn't experienced in years.
Over the past few weeks of working with him on her song, Aurora had found herself drawn to Parker. His
kindness, his patience, and the way he genuinely cared about her had slowly but surely made her develop a
crush. She had dismissed it at first, brushing it off as simple admiration. But as days turned into nights, and
nights turned into dreams filled with him, those feelings had grown into something deeper-something she
couldn't ignore.
Still, she had never dared to believe he might feel the sway. After all, Parker was admired by so many
beautiful, accomplished women. What were the odds that he'd choose her? Yet, last night's confession had
erased all her doubts. He loved her. He truly did.

Aurora chuckled softly as the thought of last night's events replayed in her mind. She had even dreamed that
Parker was in her room, and just as they kissed, her grandmother barged in. The memory made her laugh out
loud.
After spending a few moments basking in her emotions, Aurora finally pushed herself off the bed. She stretched,
heading toward the bathroom. A warm shower later, she got dressed and stepped out of her room, feeling
refreshed and ready to face the day.
The sound of tiny footsteps racing toward her made her smile. “Momma, Momma!” Auroraze’s excited voice
called out as he ran up to her.
Bending down, Aurora scooped her little boy into her arms and covered his face with playful kisses. “How’s my
precious boy doing today?” she asked, carrying him toward the dining table.
“Momma, | saw you on TV yesterday!” Auroraze said excitedly, his small arms wrapping around her neck. “You
looked so beautiful, just like an... angle!”
Aurora chuckled, her laughter warm and heartfelt. “It's not ‘angle,’ sweetheart. It's ‘angel.” She kissed his cheek
again, earning a giggle from the little boy.
Grandma Marie entered the room carrying a tray of freshly prepared dishes She placed them on the table

miss them so much.”
The three of them sat together at the table, a sense of warmth and gratitude filling the room. After years of
struggles and heartache, Aurora finally felt like she was living the life she had always dreamed of.
The days of struggle were now a memory, and Aurora couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. She
silently thanked Lily and Boss Ethan for recognizing her potential, giving her a chance to shine, and supporting
her every step of the way.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her son, Auroraze, as he looked up at her with bright, hopeful eyes. “Momma,
can you bring Uncle Parker again today?” he asked, his voice filled with excitement.
Aurora nearly choked on her food, startled by the unexpected request. She glanced at her son, confused. “Uncle
Parker?” she repeated, trying to make sense of his words.
“Pretty please, Momma?” Auroraze pleaded, his small hands clasped together tically. “I had so much fun
with Uncle Parker! He played all my favorite games withlast night!”
As Auroraze began enthusiastically recounting each ghe had played with Parker, Aurora's shock deepened.
She stared at her son, unsure of how to process the situation.
Sensing her confusion,

last night. After putting you to bed, he spent tplaying with Auroraze. He even stayed here for the night to
make sure everything was fine.”
Aurora froze. Her mind replayed Grandma Marie's words: Parker played with Auroraze. Parker stayed here last
night.
Her thoughts spiraled as she remembered something from the previous night. She turned to her grandmother,
her voice hesitant. “Grandma, did you cinto my room last night?”
Grandma Marie nodded without hesitation.
Aurora’s face turned a deep shade of red as the realization hit her like a tidal wave. What she thought was a
dream-the kisses, the moments they shared-it wasn’t a dream at all. It was real. Oh no... it was real.
She buried her face in her hands, feeling equal parts mortified and overwhelmed. She couldn't recall everything

face him now?
Her embarrassment quickly turned into a mix of emotions. On one hand, she felt frustrated and flustered at the
thought that Parker might know she had been dreaming about him. “That shameless man!” she muttered under
her breath, her cheeks still burning.
But on the other hand, a warmth spread through her chest. Knowing that Parker had not only cared for her but
had also spent twith Auroraze filled her with a happiness she hadn't felt in years.
For as long as she could remember, Aurora had kept her distance from relationships. After giving birth to
Auroraze, she had encountered too many people who couldn't accept her situation. Being a single mother,
raising her child with no regrets, had becher proudest achievement. But finding someone willing to

embrace her and her son had always seemed like an impossible dream.

Her grandmother, however, had always encouraged her to give love another chance. “You may not feel like you
need a partner,” Grandma Marie often said, “but Auroraze needs a father figure.” Aurora had tried dating a few
men in the past, but none of them had been willing to take on the responsibility of raising a child.
After a few painful experiences, she had given up on relationships altogether. Her small world with Auroraze and
her grandmother felt complete, and she convinced herself that she didn’t need anyone else.
But now, knowing that Parker not only cared for her but also loved and accepted her son, it felt as if a weight had
been lifted off her shoulders.
She smiled to herself, her heart swelling with hope. If Parker could truly accept Auroraze as part of his life, then
perhaps, just perhaps, she could let herself believe in love again.
