**1 Year Later**

I sat outside in the garden, watching the sun rise while sipping my coffee. This has become a habit for me over the last month. It’s peaceful, and I enjoy this new routine.
I love watching the bright orange light slowly ascend the sky, becoming brighter as the day begins. Observing it from the garden feels almost magical.
The guys’ mom might be a snooty, pretentious woman, but I have to give her credit for this garden. It’s beautifully done and probably my favorite place in the house. I guess that’s why I’ve come out here every morning this past month for some me time.
Oh, Mrs. Gold. I always have mixed feelings about her. I respect her because she is the guys’ and Eva’s mother, but I also pity her for the choices she made when she was young.
