Naomi is free from an abusive marriage, but she misses her son.

Family is everything to her, and she wasn't ready to lose it. She made inquiries about how to help her family and heard of a place known as the River Mystery.

She knew the river didn't grant all wishes, but she wanted to try.

On her days off from work, she lies in bed all day, hoping the River Mystery has heard her wishes.

"Ivy, if my mom helped find solutions to our family issues too, why am I the only one who has to make the decision?" Audrey asked, snapping Naomi and Ivy out of their thoughts.

"That's a great question, Audrey," Ivy replied thoughtfully. "I think I might have an answer for you."

"She's sincere in her request for solutions, but you'd be the perfect fit to make the decision because you know what to choose," Ivy said.

"Give it some careful thought, and in a few moments, River Mystery will respond to your decision, okay?" Ivy said, gently patting Audrey on the head.

"It's late, dear. You and your mom can rest in the guest room to your left."

"Thank you, Ivy. I'll make a decision," Audrey said.

Audrey and her mom retreated for the night, heading to the guest room for some much-needed rest.

"Audrey! Come downstairs for breakfast! You're running late!" Mrs.Naomi called out.

"Mum, try calling her by her full name. She'll rush down."  I heard a very familiar voice from downstairs.

"Audrey Wilson!!!!!!!! Come downstairs for breakfast now." Mrs. Naomi said.

I rushed downstairs trying to understand what was currently going on.

I came downstairs to meet my Dad scrolling his phone patiently waiting on the couch for us. My mum serving our lunch and my brother, Alex having his breakfast.

And then it dawned on me.

I made a decision and RIVER MYSTERY worked alongside my decision.

No one seems to remember what happened few nights ago.

And I am not ready to be the one to spread such news to ruin this WONDERFUL MOMENT.

I smile at them and hugged them all. I would never want us to experience such a thing again. I wanted to turn to the kitchen sink and rinse my plate but I saw Ivy. She smiled at me, gestured a zipped lip amd she walked away.

I feel so fulfilled.

Kind regards,
From Audrey,
To River Mystery.
