“Yes.”
Our Wedding
Our wedding was small but joyful.
A few friends from college came.
Our old orphanage director even attended and cried through the entire ceremony.
As Noah held my hands and said his vows, I realized something extraordinary:
Two children who had grown up with nothing had somehow built a life full of love.
That night we returned to our apartment exhausted and happy.
For the first time in my life, I truly felt like I belonged somewhere.

The Knock
The next morning, I woke up to a loud knock on the door.
Noah was still asleep beside me.
I slipped out of bed, wrapped myself in a sweater, and walked to the front door.
When I opened it, I froze.
