She giggled.

And in that moment, with syrup on the table and sunlight fading through the kitchen window, I understood that I'd never really lost my family.

A peaceful home.

A healthy daughter.

A life where love didn't come with an invoice.

And a little girl who would never have to wonder whether she mattered more than somebody else's vacation.

Because every single day, I would make sure she knew the answer.

She did.

She always had.

And she always would.

THE END.
