1. Live for the Twins

Four and a half years later, Kara still couldn’t get out of the misery. The only reason that kept her going was her family-her mother who never left her, and two little angels she couldn’t give up before.

“Louis, Emily! Your mommy is home!”

Hearing her grandmother’s call, the eyes of a little girl sparkled. The gray glow outshined the brightest stars. She removed the book from her lap and slumped from the bed. Laughing, she had a quick battle with her brother.

“Mommy’s home! Mommy’s home!”

Right after Kara put the plastic groceries down on the table, the twins lunged at each of her leg. Seeing those cheerful cuties, her weariness vanished. She smiled and stroked the toddlers gently.

“Why are you running so fast? It will hurt if you fall.”

Showing his tiny teeth, Louis shook his head firmly. “I can’t fall, Mommy. My legs are strong.”

“My legs too,” Emily said as she flipped her long, thick, wavy hair. She looked exactly like a little Kara. Only their eyes’ colors were different, and Kara’s hair had just been cut to shoulder length.

As for Louis… he was a hundred percent replica of that gray-eyed devil. Even so, Kara loved them just as much.

“What did you buy, Mommy?” Louis’ tiny finger pointed toward the plastic groceries. “Is that why you’re late?”

Kara’s joy suddenly faded. She had just been fired. Finnic’s grudge was still burning. He didn’t let Kara work, even as a sales promotion girl.
