She tries to focus on raising her son and building a life for them, but the memories of what she had with Ray will always be a part of her. She wonders if he ever thinks about their time together, if he regrets his choices. Sometimes, when she's alone at night, she allows herself to imagine that they could still have a future together... but deep down, she knows it's just wishful thinking.

Her smile grows wider as she imagines the life she could have had with Ray and their son. Despite everything, there's still a spark of hope within her heart, whispering that maybe one day they'll find each other again. For now though, she focuses on making their little family happy and content.

With those words, the tension between them seems to melt away. She lets out a shaky breath and leans against Ray, feeling his strong arm around her shoulders. They sit together in silence for a while longer, just enjoying the comfort of each other's presence as they come to terms with this new chapter in their lives.

Finally, when they feel ready, they hang up the phone and climb back into the car.

"Yes,"

she whispers, looking up at him with such love and trust in her eyes that it takes his breath away. "Yes, I'm ready."

With renewed determination, they start the engine and begin the journey home, their hearts full of hope and promise for the future.
