Chapter 19 - A Quiet Sunset Over The Lake Michigan Shoreline
On a warm, breathtaking autumn evening, Maya and Sarah sat together on the stone terrace of their Lake Michigan estate. The horizon was ablaze with brilliant hues of crimson, purple, and gold as a soft evening breeze rustled through the autumn leaves.
Classical music played softly from the open French doors behind them as they sipped hot tea and looked out over the sparkling water. "Look how far we've come, Maya," Sarah said softly, taking her daughter's hand into her own with deep tenderness.
