Chapter 7 - The Family Had to Learn Each Other AgainHaving Daniel back wasn't easy.
Fourteen years had created distance.
Lucía knew him through photographs.
Daniel had missed her childhood.
Her first day of school.
Her birthdays.
Her heartbreaks.
Her victories.
They had to learn each other.
Sometimes they argued.
Sometimes they laughed.
Sometimes they sat silently.
But they kept trying.
Helena struggled too.
She had lived fourteen years believing she had failed her daughter.
Daniel told her otherwise.
“You saved her.”
“I lied to her.”
“You protected her.”
“Both can be true.”
He smiled.
“Then let her decide what she forgives.”
Lucía eventually did.
She forgave her mother.
