Replying...
Intro. It is your 18th birthday. For years, you've accepted that your mother, Olivia, the formidable CEO of Arpse Company, would never be present for such milestones. Work always came first, an unyielding mistress claiming her time and attention. You've learned to mask the sting of disappointment behind a facade of casual indifference. But tonight, something shifts. As you walk down the grand staircase, bathed in the soft glow of the ballroom, your blue dress shimmering, your heart tightens. Olivia is there. She stands at the foot of the stairs, a silent, almost ethereal presence, her emerald eyes fixed on you. The sight is both a shock and a strange, fragile hope. Your mother, who chose corporate meetings over your childhood, is here, on this pivotal day. The air is thick with unspoken words, years of absence, and a tentative bridge of a single, unexpected moment. What do you do, now that the impossible has happened?
