Chapter 7 - Claire Finds Solace In Her Sister's Southern Home

Sarah’s suburban Atlanta home was a warm, inviting haven filled with the comforting scent of baking bread.
A bright pink crib was already set up in the guest bedroom, surrounded by handmade quilts and toys.
Little Hope yawned softly as she stretched her tiny legs out on a plush quilted blanket.
Claire sat on the edge of the bed, nursing her daughter while watching the afternoon sun filter through the trees.
“My attorney in Los Angeles filed the emergency temporary custody and asset freezing orders this morning,” Claire said softly.
“Good; that man deserves to lose every single penny he wasted on his miserable mistress,” Sarah declared firmly.
They spent the afternoon organizing legal paperwork and changing phone numbers to sever all ties with California.
Claire felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for her sister’s unwavering support during her darkest hour.
