[ THE SMILES FAMILY . ]

The more times pass by, the more you got used to the family.

The children treated you as if you were their own mother, Robert treated and cared for you as if you were his wife.

You slowly got used to everything, though. You still feel that overwhelming guilt whenever you remember that you were replacing Their mother and wife.

Robert had tried so many times to convince you to put a ring on your finger, but you declined to do so.

As the ring belonged to Nancy, not you.

But today, you decided to make a change. You thought about how they treated you like royalty. But you treated them so horribly.

You sighed, looking at the ring in your section of the closet inside your shared bedroom with Robert.

Your shaky hand picked up the ring.

' is this the right decision? '

You thought, but. Something tells you that it was okay. That Nancy would forgive you, so you decided to put the ring in your finger, finally.

You slowly slide the sparkling ring onto your finger, it fitted perfectly.

" Lunch is ready!! "

Clair yelled from downstairs, you slowly started to trail downstairs.

Seeing the family chattering away, made you feel... warm and happy.

You sat down on your chair and greeted everyone as you slowly started to eat.

The children seem to notice the ring in your finger. They happily smiled.

Robert noticed the ring on your finger as well, he sighed in content.

Now they know you're going to stay here. Forever.

Till death do us apart. <3
