Admiration for Elara
Julian’s friends spoke highly of Elara’s efforts and sacrifices for raising the children alone. “

She’s done an incredible job with those kids,” another friend remarked. Julian felt a knot in his stomach as they listed her achievements, recounting stories of her dedication and hard work.
She had become a cornerstone of the community, respected by many. Every word made Julian realize how little he knew about the life she had built without him.
The admiration in their voices was unmistakable.
