Two years after losing my wife, I never expected to find love again. Then I met Amelia—kind, patient, and adored by my five-year-old daughter, Sophie. Life felt hopeful again.
After we married and moved into Amelia’s inherited home, Sophie loved her “princess room.” But while I was away, Sophie confided that Amelia was strict, distant, and spent odd hours in the attic.
One night, I followed Amelia to the attic and found she’d created a magical space for Sophie. Realizing she’d been too focused on perfection, Amelia promised to show Sophie more love and understanding.
Sophie’s joy at the room strengthened their bond. Despite challenges, love and patience helped us become a family, one step at a time.
