Chapter 92 The Ties That Bind

• The days had a rhythm to them now, a comforting, steady beat that seemed to settle into our bones. Emma's cries no longer felt as piercing, the late-night feedings no longer as exhausting. We were finding our way through the chaos, carving out a new normal, and despite the challenges that still lay ahead, I felt something deep inside—a sense of peace.
• The sound of Emma's soft coos echoed through the quiet house as I stepped into the living room. Evangelina sat on the couch, cradling our daughter against her chest, rocking her gently. Her eyes were half-closed, the weight of the day catching up to her, but she still managed to smile at me as I entered.
• "I swear, she's growing so fast," Evangelina murmured, looking down at Emma with a tenderness I couldn't help but admire. The bond between them was undeniable, a connection stronger than anything I had ever known. Watching Evangelina with our daughter, I could see the depth of her love, the way she poured every bit of herself into Emma's care. It made me love her even more.
