Chapter 6 - A Song for Greenwich
One year later, the Greenwich estate was unrecognizable.
The high iron gates were open, and the manicured lawns were covered in colorful children’s toys. The leaded glass windows were clean, reflecting the warm summer sun that flooded the rooms.
From the grand gallery, the sound of music drifted out onto the terrace.
A grand piano was being played with a confident, joyful touch. Sophie stood next to it, her voice clear and strong, singing the song she had written with Claire. Beside her, Chloe played the acoustic guitar, her fingers moving across the strings with a natural grace she had inherited from her mother.
Carter sat on the sofa, watching them with a smile that reached his eyes. He wore a simple polo shirt and jeans, his laptop closed and forgotten on the coffee table.
Claire sat next to him, her head resting on his shoulder, her hand resting comfortably in his.
"She’s getting really good," Carter murmured, kissing the top of Claire’s head. "The local children’s choir wants her to solo next month."
"She’s a natural," Claire agreed, her face glowing with a peace she had never known in her years of struggling. "She just needed someone to listen."
"We both did," Carter said.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, laminated piece of paper. It was a yellow and purple crayon ticket, beautifully preserved, with the words: DADDY AND CLAIRE’S FOREVER SHOW.
"I’m never throwing this away," Carter said, looking at the drawing.
"You’d better not," Sophie called out from the piano, her song finishing with a flourish. "That’s a VIP ticket, Daddy. It costs a million hugs."
"I think I can afford that," Carter laughed, standing up and opening his arms as both girls ran toward him, their laughter filling the once-silent halls of Greenwich with a melody that would never fade.
