The Key to Her Heart

After the judge’s kind words, Olive felt a shift in herself. With a deep breath, she found the strength to speak up about the feelings she’d been hiding. She longed for a family of her own, yet part of her couldn’t let go of the hope that one day, her birth parents might come back.

It might have seemed naive, but it was a part of Olive. With surprising bravery, the girl explained that she needed the option to search for them someday if she chose. That was the one condition for her to fully open her heart to the Quinns—letting her past stay a part of her future.
