I decided to write a chapter like this because I thought it would be interesting to have a scene that shows Milly meeting Grace in a way Like the three siblings met Jessica. Although I did like the way the book originally ended I just thought this was another way to do it. I tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Especially with the whole abandonment thing because Grace was really scared about it. I don't know what would happen if I had continued writing. Maybe they would have a weekly dinner. Maybe they would only see each other on holidays, I don't know and honestly, that's fine with me.

This is written so well. It really feels like a chapter in the book and is written that way to. I like how this alternate ending would probably be a reality and I like how fluent it is. I also notice that Milly feels different with Grace, like the hug only a biological mother would give. This is a good continuation/alternate ending.

This is really well written. I can tell Milly really looks up to Grace and there is no sense of negativity in their reunion. I liked how you made it clear Milly could ask about Grace just like how Grace is always allow to ask about her mom.

I liked how you showed that Milly in 16 years would want to see Grace and meet her. That she knows that her biological mom would be open to her anytime. Also when Graces hugs felt more different than Catalina hugs to Milly, that was heartwarming
