The day you left the hospital with Maddy and your child, Mia, felt like a bittersweet respite from the turmoil of the past. You were determined to shield Mia from the dark truth about your family and, for a brief moment, enjoy a semblance of normalcy.

Together, you strolled through the park, the warm sun casting a golden hue over everything, creating a picturesque backdrop for your family day. Mia's laughter and innocent chatter provided a temporary escape from the weight of the past days, and you couldn't help but cherish these moments.

You watched Maddy and Mia play together, a genuine smile gracing Maddy's face, a welcome departure from the guilt and sorrow that had shrouded her. It seemed as though the bond between mother and child was finding its way back to what it once was, and it gave you hope for the future.

As the day drew to a close, you all returned home, your heart a mix of conflicting emotions. You needed to believe that healing was possible, that your family could emerge from this stronger than before.

With a gentle promise to Mia that you'd be right back, you headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. It was a moment of solitude that allowed you to reflect on the day and collect your thoughts. But in your haste to cleanse both your body and mind, you made a critical mistake—leaving your phone on the bathroom counter.

As the warm water cascaded over you, you couldn't help but think of Cassie, the unresolved emotions, and the message she had sent earlier. You knew that reaching out to her was a complicated and delicate matter, one that you hadn't been ready to address.

Unbeknownst to you, Maddy had entered the bathroom and saw your phone. Her curiosity got the best of her, and she couldn't resist the temptation to read the anonymous message. The words on the screen struck her like a dagger through the heart.

The message asked if everything was alright and if you were free to meet up. It was a simple message, but its implications were profound. Maddy's heart sank as she realized that there really was a secret connection that she didn't entirely know about, that there were still unresolved feelings and secrets between you.
