Chapter 13 - THE MOTHER WHO BUILT SOMETHING NEW

I started a small sewing business.

At first, it was only a few orders.

Holiday dresses.

Children's costumes.

Custom outfits.

Then a local boutique asked whether I'd consider supplying a small collection.

I almost said no.

I was still working at the library.

Still raising the twins.

Still learning how to manage life after divorce.

But Emily looked at the sketches on my kitchen table.

“Mom?”

“Yes?”

“Are those your designs?”

I nodded.

She smiled.

“They're beautiful.”

Lucas leaned over.

“Can you make me another vest?”

I laughed.

“Of course.”

He grinned.

May you like

“Maybe blue this time.”

And just like that, I realized the thing Colin had mocked was something I could build a future around.
