"We will take care of Mommy!"
Charlotte's cheeks were aching from smiling so much.
She was so proud of her children and was over the moon.
It was soon the children's bedtime.
Charlotte tucked them into bed.
Before they fell asleep, it was as if they remembered their dark time buried underground. Each of them thanked Charlotte. "Thank you for finding us, Mommy. Thank you for bringing us home."
After they fell asleep, Charlotte gave each of them a kiss on their cheek.
She began to choke up.
When Quinto recounted what happened, Charlotte was horrified. At the same time, she was incredibly proud of her children. They were so strong and so brave.
They even knew how to look out for each other.
That was why they survived.
Charlotte stared at them for a long time.
But she had something else to do.
Charlotte quietly slipped out of the bedroom.
