The vibrant colors of the playground outside seemed brighter than usual to Emily. She had just discovered her son, Tom’s, hidden social media profile. A lightness bloomed in her chest. A fresh start for them both.

She felt a surge of energy. This was a chance to understand him, to see his perspective. Emily felt so light, she felt she could float away. She had already pulled out Tom’s favorite art supplies, ready for a creative afternoon.

She pictured them laughing, sharing stories. The future stretched out before her, full of potential. She decided to go to the playground, to invite him to go with her.
