The realization that the elegant woman before her may indeed be the mother of Chelsea, the person Daryl had spoken about with such fervor, stuns her to the core. Thoughts race through her mind, trying to make sense of this unexpected encounter and the implications it holds. Hilary's relationship with Daryl had blossomed slowly but surely over the past few months. Their connection had deepened through shared laughter, late-night conversations, and a mutual appreciation for literature. Daryl had often mentioned Chelsea, with a mix of nostalgia and longing.
