As Sofia delved into her father's words, the memories of the past echoed through her mind, taking her to a familiar place—the sea. The night was reminiscent of the one when Mr. William had grounded her for a week. Seeking solace, Sofia tiptoed towards the windows, where the moonlight danced upon the waves, creating a mesmerizing play of light.
The sea had always been a source of comfort for Sofia, a place where she could connect with the universe. The stars above glittered like diamonds, each one holding a story, a memory. It was on nights like these that Sofia would come to the seaside, engaging in silent conversations with the vast expanse, as if reaching out to the stars meant reaching out to her departed mother.
Her mother's words resonated in her heart, the belief that those who passed away became stars. Sofia found herself wrapped in the tranquility of the night, a canvas painted with celestial wonders. The rhythmic sound of the waves provided a backdrop for her thoughts, soothing the ache in her heart.
As the tears rolled down her cheeks, Sofia's gaze remained fixed on the night sky. In the vastness above, she sought the presence of her mother, speaking words that only the sea and the stars could hear. The album she had discovered in the storeroom, momentarily forgotten, held the promise of unveiling untold stories and forgotten memories.
The sea breeze carried whispers of comfort, and slowly, Sofia's sorrow began to ebb. The weight of disappointments and frustrations seemed to dissipate, carried away by the gentle caress of the night. With a heavy heart, she finally allowed herself to rest, the sound of the sea becoming a lullaby, cradling her into a dream-filled slumber.
