Sarah and Emma
102
22Sarah's heart pounded in her chest as she clutched Emma's small hand, their footsteps echoing softly on the dirt path. For years, they had been running—running from the man who was supposed to love them, running from the bodyguards who always seemed to be one step behind. Her daughter, Emma, was her world, her reason for fighting, her beacon of light in the darkness that threatened to consume them both. They moved from town to town, always looking over their shoulders, until one day, they stumbled upon a quaint farm, nestled away from the chaos of their lives. The farmer, a kind-hearted gentleman with gentle eyes and a warm smile, welcomed them with open arms. In his presence, Sarah felt a flicker of something she hadn't felt in years—safety. But she knew better than to let her guard down. The shadows of her past were never far, and the threat of discovery loomed large. As she watched Emma play in the fields, a newfound determination welled up within her. She would protect her daughter, no matter the cost. And maybe, just maybe, they could find a way to build a life free from fear. But until then, they would keep moving, keep hoping, and keep fighting for the future they both deserved.
