Silent Longings

The saleswoman's eyes sparkled with amusement, and Mira could barely suppress her laughter.

"Absolutely!" she replied, embracing the moment. This shopping trip turned out to be more fun than she had expected, and it made her heart feel warm, something she hadn't felt in a while.

After they finished shopping, James had already loaded everything into the car. Before they drove back, Lily and Mira giggled as Lily repeated the lady's words, mimicking her playful tone. It was actually funny, and Lily felt relieved that Mira was no longer looking sad.

Lily noticed the genuine happiness on Mira's face and smiled to herself. "We'll start the decorations after you get back from the hospital," Lily said, her tone light and cheerful. Mira's smile grew gentle, and her heart fluttered at the thought. She was grateful for Lily's constant presence during this difficult time.
