Living with Mrs. Thompson was a new experience for Lily. Mrs. Thompson's house was cozy and welcoming, filled with bookshelves, knitted blankets, and the smell of fresh-baked cookies. Each corner of the house seemed to radiate warmth, and while Lily missed her parents' home, she began to feel safe. Mrs. Thompson made sure Lily had everything she needed: a room with a comfortable bed, warm dinners, and someone to talk to. At night, she left a small light on in the hallway so Lily wouldn't feel alone in the dark. As the days passed, Lily found herself adjusting, even if her heart still ached with sadness. Every morning, Mrs. Thompson would ask how Lily was doing, offering her gentle words of encouragement. Slowly, Lily started to find comfort in these small routines. She missed her parents every day, but Mrs. Thompson filled her world with small joys and moments of kindness. Little by little, Lily began to feel that, maybe, things would be okay again, even if a part of her heart still felt broken.
