Dominic's face brightened with a smile, and he hugged me tightly.

"Love you, Mommy."

I held my precious son close.

"I love you too, Dominic. More than words can say."

Just then, a knock echoed through the house, interrupting our tender moment, and entered Luigi with a tray of baked cookies.

"I thought we could use a little treat," Jessie said, getting up to collect the tray from Luigi and offer the tray to Dominic and me.

I gratefully bit a cookie into it, savoring the comforting taste.

“This is delicious, Luigi. Thank you.” I complimented with a large grin.

“It is my pleasure.” Luigi smiled before taking his leave to attend to other things that required his attention.

“Thank you, Jessie. You always know how to brighten the mood." I expressed my gratitude to my best friend.

She grinned mischievously. “Sugar always makes things better.”

We laughed, finding temporary respite from the chaos surrounding us.

At that moment, I felt a sense of gratitude for Jessie's unwavering presence.

Her decision to stay by my side during these difficult times was a testament to the strength of our friendship.

In Dante's luxurious mansion, Jessie and I sought solace from the chaos that had engulfed our lives.

Bathed in the warm evening sunlight, we sat on the comfortable couch in the opulent living room, keeping an eye on Dominic as he played with his toys on the soft rug.

I couldn't help but smile at Dominic's lively expressions and contagious laughter that filled the room.

"He's growing up so fast, Jessie. It feels like just yesterday he was a tiny baby."

Jessie nodded, her eyes filled with affection.

"Time flies, Angela. Before we know it, he'll be all grown up."

Relaxing against the plush cushions, I let out a contented sigh.

"These moments with Dominic are precious. I'm grateful to witness his growth and be there for every milestone."

Jessie placed a reassuring hand on my arm.

"You're an amazing mother, Angela. Despite everything that's happened, you've always prioritized Dominic's well-being."

I turned to Jessie, expressing my gratitude through my eyes.

"Thank you, Jessie. I don't know what I'd do without you by my side."

Jessie's genuine smile warmed my heart.

"That's what best friends are for, right? We support each other through thick and thin."

As we continued to watch Dominic engrossed in his play, a sense of tranquility enveloped us.

At this moment, it was just the three of us, finding solace in one another's presence.
