Shattered Promises on Valentine’s Day

brought Eric and Cora together. Both orphans raised in foster care, they had dreamt of a large, happy family ever since they were young. That shared hope had quickly deepened into love. They dated, married, and within two years welcomed triplets into their lives. Their little family, though bustling with energy and challenges, was their dream come true.

Cora had always taken pride in every small gesture meant to nurture their love. This Valentine’s Day was no different. She donned an old red dress—a cherished gift from Eric on their first wedding anniversary. Though a bit outdated, the dress held memories of better days and was far more precious than any new expense. Today, she would wear it not out of necessity but out of sentiment.
