Beside me, Jessie offered a comforting presence.
"I just don't know what to do, Jessie," I confessed, my voice tinged with uncertainty.
"My heart feels torn between staying with Dante and creating a stable family for Dominic, and the fear of the dangers that come with his world."
Jessie nodded understandingly, her eyes filled with empathy.
"I can't pretend to have all the answers, Angela," she said softly.
"But I do know that you deserve to be happy, and your happiness lies in following your heart."
I let out a sigh, the weight of the decision pressing heavily upon me.
"But what if my heart is leading me into a world of uncertainty and danger? What if it's not the right choice for Dominic?"
Jessie reached out and placed a comforting hand on mine.
"Angela, I've seen how Dante cares for you and Dominic," she reassured me.
"Yes, there are risks involved, but there are risks in every path we choose. What matters is that you listen to your instincts and trust your judgment."
I gazed out into the horizon, contemplating Jessie's words.
It was true that Dante had shown me love, protection, and unwavering support, but moments of fear and doubt made me question if I was making the right choice for my son.
"Angela," Jessie continued, her voice gentle yet firm, "I know you're a strong and resilient woman. You've faced challenges before and always found a way to overcome them. Trust yourself and have faith that you can navigate whatever comes your way."
A sense of clarity started to emerge within me.
I realized that ultimately, the decision had to come from within me.
I had to trust my instincts and dare to follow the path that felt right, no matter how difficult it might be.
"Thank you, Jessie," I said, a genuine appreciation in my voice.
Jessie smiled warmly, her support unwavering.
"That's the spirit, Angela. Your happiness matters. Whatever you decide, know that I'll be here for you every step of the way."
At that moment, I realized that it was time for me to trust myself.

During my two weeks at the resort with Dominic and Jessie, we found solace in the tranquil surroundings and the peaceful moments we shared.
It was a much-needed break from the chaos that had consumed our lives.
We immersed ourselves in the beauty of the natural surroundings, taking long walks on the beach and basking in the warm sun.
The resort provided a sense of serenity, allowing us to momentarily escape the weight of our worries.
I cherished the quality time I spent with Dominic, watching him laugh and play, his innocence a reminder of the preciousness of life.
We built sandcastles together, splashed in the pool, and embraced the simple joys that came with being in each other's company.
Jessie, too, found solace in this temporary escape.
We shared deep conversations about our experiences, hopes, and fears.
