Lauren's family home in Gables Estates was sharp and deliberate, impossible to ignore—just like her. Not as massive as Lauren's grandparents' mansion, but it's spacious, with industrial design, and subtle mid-century style touches.
Her mom had bought it after years of saving, with her grandparents helping cover half the costs. Clara navigated the fast-paced world of investments, securing the family's wealth while staying present in Lauren's life. Connections from her parents, eased the way, and she never stopped reminding herself how grateful she was for a second chance with them.
And things were different now. Lauren's grandparents, who once felt distant, had grown warmer, spending quality time with her, Chris, and her mom—sharing meals, holidays, and quiet moments that hadn't existed before.
For Lauren, the house wasn't just walls and furniture. It was proof that life could change, that sadness could be replaced with something steadier. Safer.
Outside, a massive pool stretched across the backyard, its limestone stairs perfectly lit by golden-hour sun. Surrounded by the lush greenery of Coral Gables, the water shimmered like liquid glass, reflecting the sky, the foliage, and the striking green of Lauren's eyes even as they remained closed behind long lashes. The pool extended the home's presence into the landscape, a private oasis as commanding as Lauren herself.
