Kevin’s world shattered when his wife, Laurel, vanished, leaving their five-year-old daughter, Alice, alone with only a cryptic note. Desperate for answers, he discovered she had planned her departure for weeks. A week later, he saw her on TV, chasing a dream he never knew she had—becoming a singer. In that moment, he realized she had never truly wanted their life; she wanted the world.
Accepting the painful truth, Kevin let her go. He blocked her number, filed for sole custody, and focused on Alice. When she asked if her mother would return, he gently told her no. But over waffles and ice cream, he reassured her she was never to blame. While Laurel chased her dreams, Kevin and Alice found something even greater—love, stability, and freedom.
