Elaris's POV
Three months.
Sometimes it still amazes me how quickly life can change.
The first few weeks after discovering my pregnancy had felt endless. Every day had been heavy, every morning uncertain, every night filled with questions I couldn't answer.
Now...
Four months had passed.
Not everything was perfect.
Some nights I still woke from dreams that left my chest aching. There were moments when memories of Brookhaven crept in without warning. Every now and then, I would catch sight of a familiar cologne in a shopping mall or hear a song that reminded me of another life.
But those moments no longer had the power to stop me.
They came.
They hurt.
Then they passed.
Life had continued...
And somehow, so had I.
Saturday mornings had quietly become my favorite.
No alarm.
