Liam: "Mommy, can we go to the park today?"

Amelia: "I think that's a great idea. What do you say, Sophie? Want to join us?"

Sophie: "I'd love to."

Later that afternoon, they arrived at the neighborhood park. Children laughed and played on the playground, and the scent of fresh grass filled the air.

Liam: Running ahead "Come on, Mommy! Let's go on the swings!"

Amelia: "Alright, I'm coming!"

As they walked, Sophie nudged Amelia.

Sophie: "So, any prospects in the romance department?"

Amelia: Rolling her eyes playfully "Really, Sophie?"

Sophie: "What? I'm just curious."

Amelia: "I've been a bit busy, in case you hadn't noticed."

Sophie: "You're allowed to have a life, you know."

Amelia: "Liam is my priority."

Sophie: "I get that, but you deserve happiness too."

Amelia sighed, watching Liam play.

Amelia: "I am happy."

Sophie: "But maybe you could be happier."

Amelia: Glancing at her "Are you trying to set me up?"

Sophie: Feigning innocence "Me? Never."

They both laughed.

Amelia: "I appreciate the thought, but I'm fine. Really."

Sophie: "Alright, I'll drop it. For now."

They sat on a bench as Liam joined a group of children playing tag.

Sophie: "He's so social."

Amelia: "He makes friends wherever he goes."

An older woman approached them, smiling warmly.

Woman: "Excuse me, is that your son?"

Amelia: "Yes, that's Liam."

Woman: "He's a delightful boy. My granddaughter is quite taken with him."
