Chapter 58

Lisa's POV 

"Love you, mommy!" The kids said it in unison. 

"Bye!" I waved at the kids as they walked away from the car. What could be more delightful than this? Tell me? 

This was the life I wanted—well, almost the life I wanted, but somehow it felt a lot better than I would have imagined. It was the first month being a full-time caretaker, and trust me, every decision I had to take concerning them felt wrong, but as I saw them occasionally staring at me as they went into the building, I could not be prouder than I was.

I sat in the car watching them fade into the peers; I couldn't help but admire them as I blinked away their tears lurking at the side of my eyes.

I cleared my throat then sagged back to my seat. I glanced at my reflection in the rearview mirror. 'That's the look of a proud mother making it right with her kids again.' I would never leave them again, I swore to myself as I ignited the engines and drove off.
