You won't be alone in the future anymore. You have me, the kids, and your family by your side." Olivia interlaced her fingers with his and hummed in response.
Willow placed her hand on theirs. Her determined eyes were assuring Olivia that she would be by her side too. Olivia, who was at a loss in the face of the future, grew confident as she looked at them.
