The morning sun peeked through my curtains, nudging me awake earlier than usual. With a determined resolve, I sat up and reached for my unfinished homework from the night before. The dim glow of my desk lamp illuminated the pages as I scribbled down the last answers, determined to complete the task.
As I set my neatly organized homework aside, I glanced at the clock. It was nearly time for my regular routine to begin. My gaze shifted to the wardrobe, its doors slightly ajar. Rows of clothes hung there, each piece a reflection of my evolving style. But lately, something felt off. The vibrant colors and bold patterns no longer resonated with me.
Determined to reclaim my sense of self, I pulled out a white cropped tee. Its simplicity felt comforting—a canvas for my identity. Next, a tight black suspender skirt, accentuating my curves. I hesitated for a moment, then reached for a pair of pristine white sneakers—my trusty forces. As I dressed, I reminded myself that confidence wasn't about fitting in; it was about embracing who I truly was.

As the morning light filtered through the curtains, I slipped into my own clothes—a comfortable routine. But my focus soon shifted to my daughters, still nestled in slumber. Their room beckoned, and I tiptoed inside, mindful not to disturb their dreams.
Their dresser drawers held a treasure trove of tiny outfits. I pulled out two oversized blue Peanuts shirts, their familiar characters grinning up at me. Next, black biker shorts—practical for little adventures. Matching black socks followed, each pair a miniature version of my own.
But the pièce de résistance awaited: their beloved blue and white Jordans. I carefully laced them up, the laces looping through memories.
Finally, their tiny black purses I approached their beds, brushing gentle fingers across their cheeks. "Wake up, my little stars," I whispered. They stirred, eyes fluttering open, and I marveled at their innocence.
Dressing them was a dance of patience and love. No protests, no fuss—just sleepy smiles and trust. I realized that these small moments held magic. The world outside might be chaotic, but here, in our cocoon of morning rituals, everything felt right.

After dressing the twins, I carefully took them downstairs one at a time. As we descended, I settled them into their highchairs and offered them some of their favorite yogurt snack melts. These soft snacks were a better alternative to bottles, which they've been less interested in lately.
Once they finished their snacks, I secured their pacifiers in their mouths and placed them in the stroller. I stowed the diaper bag underneath and grabbed my own bag and purse. With everything in order, I pushed the stroller out the door and headed toward the subway.
As I boarded, I noticed Lucas already there. His surprise was evident when he looked up and took in my outfit. I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction. After settling the stroller, I sat down next to him. His gaze shifted from me to the girls, and he smiled.
"They look adorable today," he remarked. "Do you always coordinate their outfits?"
"Thank you," I replied. "Yes, I know it's a bit cliché, but I find it cute."
His smirk deepened, and he leaned in closer. "You look pretty today too."
My face flushed, and I playfully slapped his arm. "Thanks, Luke." It surprised me how strong he was—something I'd noticed from the shirts he wore—but damn, that smooth compliment caught me off guard.
As we arrived at school, I couldn't help but notice the numerous stares directed our way. The intensity of those gazes made me feel increasingly uncomfortable. Whispers floated around, some tinged with jealousy, as curious onlookers wondered why Lucas was walking alongside me. Others fixated on my tattoo, apparently surprised by its existence. The scrutiny was infuriating.
Determined not to let it affect me, I stood taller and continued my conversation as if impervious to their judgment. Lucas, ever the gentleman, escorted me to my locker while keeping an eye on the twins. As we prepared to head to class, Maya and Riley intercepted us.
I glanced at them, my frustration mounting. "Lucas," I sighed, "take the girls back to class."
He shook his head. "No, Kyrah. Every time I leave you alone with those two, something happens. I overheard your conversation yesterday."
My surprise must have been evident. "You heard that?" I asked.
"Yeah," he confirmed. "So I think I'll stick around."
I nodded, acknowledging his concern. Then, facing Maya and Riley, I braced myself.
"Hi, Lucas," Riley's high-pitched voice grated on my ears.
"Hi, Riley," Lucas replied in a monotone tone.
Maya cut to the chase. "We need to talk to Kyrah... alone."
