Estella had always been the attentive, engaged student in her class, but today, her focus seemed scattered, her thoughts elsewhere. Charlotte, her close friend, noticed the change. One afternoon, after class, Charlotte approached Estella, concerned about her distracted demeanor.
"Estella, you seem a bit preoccupied lately. Is everything alright?" Charlotte asked, concern evident in her voice.
Sensing her friend's unease, Estella confided in Charlotte about the arrival of Mia, brought into their lives by Alaric.
Estella revealed to Charlotte the intricate connections between Mia's parents and Alaric's family and how Alaric sought her help in aiding Mia's recovery from the trauma of her parents' tragic demise.
Having faced her own deep grief after losing her mother, Estella questioned her capability to help Mia heal. She expressed her doubts to Charlotte, unsure if she possessed the strength to support Mia through such immense pain.
"Charlotte, do you think I can really help Mia? I've been through my own struggles after my mother's passing," Estella said, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
Reassuringly, Charlotte replied, "Estella, your empathy and understanding make you more than capable. I'll be right here by your side, supporting you every step of the way."
However, Charlotte, ever supportive, assured Estella of her steadfast assistance in guiding Mia towards healing.
Their bond grew stronger in that moment, and Estella felt immense gratitude for Charlotte's unwavering friendship.
As the school day came to an end, Estella encountered Alaric and his friends in the parking, where they introduced Mia to her.
Ember, Alaric's girlfriend, concealed her irritation at Estella's close involvement in Alaric's life and now, Mia's presence. Aware that any display of resentment might strain her relationship with Alaric, Ember masked her annoyance, maintaining a composed facade.
Weeks passed, and Estella decided to invite Mia to join her and Charlotte for coffee since Alaric was occupied with his sports practice. Though hesitant, Mia accompanied them to the cafe. They made genuine efforts to make Mia feel comfortable, engaging her in conversation about their lives, studies, and shared interests. Over time, Mia began to relax and open up, finding solace in Estella and Charlotte's company.
Charlotte suggested a picnic by the town's lakeside to further strengthen their bond. Estella extended the invitation to Mia, who eagerly accepted, intrigued by the idea of enjoying the town's serene beauty.
On the day of the picnic, Estella, Charlotte, and Mia rendezvoused near the cafe where they had shared coffee.
