When I returned to the living room, Alex was still there, looking concerned.
“How did it go?” he asked.
“It’s going to be a challenge, but we’ll get through it. We’re going to take it one step at a time, and we’ll do it together,” I said, feeling a flicker of hope.
Alex nodded. “I’m with you, Jess. We’ll make this work.”
I smiled, grateful for his support. It wouldn’t be easy, but with Alex by my side, I believed we could get through it. We just had to stay patient and strong—for Emma.
The road ahead was uncertain, but we were ready to face it together.
