Just Friends

Jack and Taylor exchanged grateful glances, clearly touched by the bond that had formed between their children and Claus and Mia. "You're right," Jack admitted. "We should have listened to Samantha and Nick more. We shouldn't be fighting in their presence"

Carol, who had been observing the heartfelt exchange, stepped forward, her voice filled with warmth. "Here," she handed them a card over to them. "Call me whenever you want to come here. We can hang out together. You're always welcome here, Jack, Taylor. And if you ever need help, don't hesitate to reach out."

Taylor nodded, her eyes glistening with emotion. "Thank you, Carol. We appreciate your love."

As the family prepared to leave, Samantha handed Mia a small package. "We want you to have this. It's a way to remember how you looked out for us."

Mia took the package and nodded appreciatively. She opened it. It was a couple's hand piece "Thank you, Samantha. Did you make this? " Mia asked as she marveled at the beautiful artwork.
