When I got back home, my parents were waiting.
I didn’t say a word. I just ran into my mom’s arms.
She held me tight, stroking my hair.
“You’re home,” she whispered.
And she was right. I was home.
Because in the end, I didn’t need a mansion, a fortune, or a mother who only wanted me when it suited her.
“Welcome back, baby girl,” my father said softly.
I already had everything I ever needed—A real family.
