This was the only promise she sought from Laura.
Tears filled Laura's eyes as she nodded vigorously.
“Iwill” Cecilia, her voice rough with emotion, wiped her own tears away.
“Once you're married, you're my daughter too. Let's forget the past.
I have, and you must too.” Laura's eyes brimmed with tears, reflecting her sorrow and gratitude.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the stairwell. Edwin had arrived.

When Laura emerged from the room, he wrapped an arm around her in a comforting gesture, whispering softly, “Wait for me in the car.” With a nod, Laura leaned into his embrace for a moment.
Edwin patted her back reassuringly, watching her descend the stairs before he entered his parents’ room. Cecilia, hiding her emotions, dismissed him briskly.
“Go on, Edwin. Today we remember Zoey, not me.” A mix of laughter and tears escaped Edwin.
He sighed, a lightness in his voice.
“Okay, I'll ask Dad to come and cheer you up.” Cecilia shot back playfully, “I'm perfectly capable of cheering myself up.”
