The call from my son’s new school caught me off guard. I had been praying he’d settle in, especially since we moved around so much, and I knew how tough it was for him… But the tone in the principal’s voice told me otherwise. Things weren’t going as smoothly as I’d hoped. They were asking me to come in.
The next day, I walked into the school, holding my son’s hand tightly. The closer we got to the principal’s office, the tighter my heart clenched. Please, let this time be different. No drama. Please.
I took a deep breath and peeked inside, spotting Mrs. Collins, the principal. But she wasn’t alone. There was a man standing next to her. The man I knew so well.
Molly’s life is a struggle, constantly moving with her son Tommy due to her husband’s unstable job situation. Tommy begins acting out, and Molly faces a call from the school principal about his disruptive behavior. At a meeting, she’s confronted with the reality that Tommy might be expelled, and she’s left feeling helpless. But things take a surprising turn when she encounters Christian, her ex-boyfriend and Tommy’s biological father, who offers to be a part of Tommy’s life.
Christian’s return forces Molly to question her life with Nigel, who is distant and battling his own issues. After a rough day at home, Molly realizes she must make a change for Tommy’s sake. With newfound resolve, she decides to leave Nigel, taking Tommy with her to start fresh with someone who truly cares. For the first time in years, she feels hope for the future.
