In Love With You Two

CHAPTER 284

~Zara's POV~

As the evening wore on, we talked about lighter things—stories from my childhood, updates on the pack, and even a few funny moments from my time with Ella and Snow.

Eventually, Mum stood, smoothing the fabric of her gown. "I'll let you rest. Tomorrow will be a long day, and you'll need your energy for the celebration. We'll also get your gowns fitted tomorrow morning. So, rest early."

I stood as well, walking her to the door. "Thank you for coming to talk, Mum. I needed it."

She cupped my cheek and stared into my eyes, with love. "You're stronger than you know, Zara. Never forget that."

As she left, I closed the door behind her and leaned against it, a small smile on my lips.
