The first rays of dawn stretched across Harmony Town, painting the sky in soft shades of gold and pink.
The little cottage was wrapped in a peaceful silence, broken only by the cheerful chirping of birds and the distant crow of a rooster.
The old lady was already awake.
As she did every morning, she sat on the veranda with a warm cup of tea, enjoying the crisp morning air before starting her day.
She smiled to herself.
“It seems my grandson slept in today.”
She reached for her phone, intending to call Damian for breakfast.
Just then…
Her phone vibrated.
A message.
Her smile widened as she tapped the screen.
It was from Damian.
As she began reading, her smile slowly faded into one of quiet understanding.
Grandma, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
Something importa
