After Brandon left, Joselyn felt a mix of anger and relief. She focused on preparing for her baby, attending prenatal classes and decorating the nursery. The loneliness sometimes crept in, but she was determined to give her child the love and stability she never had.
She started a journal for her baby, writing about her dreams for their future. Brandon’s messages continued, but she ignored them, each one loosening her ties to the past.
As her due date neared, Joselyn felt ready. She had rebuilt her life, and though challenges awaited, she knew she could face them alone, creating a bright future for herself and her child.
