She even started a page on social media, where she posted photos of her works and told about life with her daughter. People started following her story, inspired by her resilience. One morning, when Emily was already standing firmly on her feet and happily stomping around the room, Alice received an unexpected call.
The number was unfamiliar, but something told her it was important. She answered. «Alice? This is Arthur Simmons.
I thought about it. I have an old sewing machine in the attic. I wanted to throw it out, but then remembered you said you dreamed of sewing.
Maybe it’ll come in handy?» Alice smiled, pressing the phone to her ear. Arthur Simmons continued to be her guardian angel. «Of course it will.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how timely this is.» The next day she went for the machine. Arthur met her at the door with such enthusiasm, as if waiting for his own granddaughter.
Entering the apartment, Alice noticed he looked a bit more energetic than before. Apparently, he was also pleased to keep in touch. The sewing machine opened new horizons for her.
Now Alice sewed not only for herself but also on order. She created cute onesies for babies, stylish dresses for girls, and even cozy blankets that became a real hit. One day, checking her messages on social media, Alice stumbled upon a letter.
The sender’s name made her freeze—Nick. Her hands trembled for a moment, but she quickly composed herself. She opened the message and started reading.
«Alice, hi. I hope you remember me. I want to apologize for everything that happened.
I need to talk to you. Can we meet?» Her heart clenched. Why now? After everything she went through, why did he decide to appear? Alice closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Before, she would have rushed to him, hoping for a miracle. But now she was different. She decided not to reply right away.
In the evening, after putting Emily to bed, she thought long about what to write. In the end, she typed a short message. «Nick, we’re doing fine.
Thanks for the concern, but I see no point in our meeting. The past can’t be returned, and I have important things. Good luck to you.»
After pressing «Send,» Alice felt relief. She realized she had closed that door forever. Life continued on its course.
Alice became even more independent. Her business grew, and with it, her ambitions. She enrolled in online fashion design courses, dreaming of opening her own brand one day.
But the most important thing was that she found people who became family to her. Arthur Simmons now invited them over for every holiday, and the neighbors in the house where she rented the room treated Alice and Emily like their own. She no longer felt lonely.
Three years had passed since the day Alice left the hospital with her daughter in her arms and didn’t know where to go. Now she knew for sure. Her life was just beginning, and something wonderful awaited her ahead…
