Chapter 76

• As the car pulled up to the airport, Bridget could feel her heart beating fast in her chest. She felt nervous and afraid, but she tried to put on a brave face for her mother. Elena looked at her with a smile, but Bridget could see the worry in her eyes. "I'll be back soon, I promise," Elena said, giving Bridget a tight hug. "I love you, no matter what."
• "I love you too," Bridget said, her voice breaking. She felt a tear roll down her cheek as she watched the car drive away, taking her mother with it. Bridget could feel the tight knot in her chest. But Jerome pulled her into a hug.
• "Don't worry, she will come back for you, stronger." Grandpa Murphy said and they all went back home.
