Chapter 8 - A New BeginningA year later, we moved.

Not because we were afraid.

Because the old mansion carried too many memories.

We built a new home.

Smaller.

Warmer.

More human.

Lily chose her bedroom.

She chose yellow walls.

A huge bookshelf.

And a reading corner beside the window.

“Why yellow?”

“It feels happy.”

I smiled.

“Then yellow it is.”

We planted a tree in the backyard.

A memorial tree for Eleanor.

Lily placed a small plaque beneath it.

Mommy, you are always here.

I cried when I saw it.

Lily hugged me.

May you like

“She would like it.”

“She would love it.”
