At five years old, Alexa was left on her grandmother’s porch as her mother, Evelyn, explained that her new husband Mark didn’t want children. Despite her mother’s promises of love, Alexa watched her drive away, leaving her heartbroken and confused. Grandma Rose became her rock, raising her with love and devotion.

Years passed, and Alexa grew up, but she never stopped missing her mother, secretly drawing pictures of the life they could have had together. After Grandma’s death, Alexa was lost in grief until one rainy afternoon, Evelyn appeared at her door, apologizing and asking for a second chance.

Alexa let her back in, hoping for a genuine reunion. At first, things seemed perfect, but Alexa’s instincts told her something was wrong. Evelyn was always texting and never shared the photos she took of them together. One night, Alexa found a message on Evelyn’s phone that revealed the truth: Evelyn was using their reunion to impress a man, pretending to be a loving mother to gain his affection.

Alexa confronted Evelyn with her childhood drawings, and Evelyn tearfully promised never to leave her again. But Alexa realized that Evelyn’s return was more about her own needs than repairing their relationship. She stopped answering her calls and eventually discarded the drawings, choosing to move on and embrace her own worth.
