Chapter 38 A New Opportunity.

The morning sun streamed through the windows of our home, casting a warm glow on the breakfast table. Kai and I sat sipping our coffee, enjoying the rare moment of peace before the day’s responsibilities kicked in. Lily was already at school, and we had a few minutes to ourselves. “I’ve been thinking about Charlotte,” I said, breaking the comfortable silence. Kai looked up from his newspaper, his brow furrowed slightly. “About what happened with her job interview?” he asked, setting the paper aside. “Yeah,” I nodded. “She’s been through so much lately, and I really want to help her. She’s incredibly talented and deserves a chance to prove herself.” Kai leaned back in his chair, considering my words. “What do you have in mind?” I took a deep breath, hoping he would agree with my idea. “I was thinking we could offer her a position at the school. We’ve been talking about expanding the staff, and she has a strong background in administration and marketing. She could be a great asset.”
