Reading the letters brought a whirlwind of emotions for Ash. His father's words revealed regret, love, and a longing for reconciliation that Ash had never expected. Each letter peeled back another layer of his past, bringing both pain and healing.
Lily sat beside him, her presence a steady anchor as he navigated the storm of emotions. When he finished reading the last letter, tears streamed down his face. "I don't know what to do," he admitted, his voice choked with emotion.
"You don't have to decide right now," Lily said gently. "Just know that whatever you choose, I'll support you."
Ash nodded, grateful for her unwavering support. Together, they began the journey of understanding his past and moving forward, one step at a time.
