🧡 Summary:

When Shadow takes it upon himself to bring Cream home to Floral Forest Village after a battle, he meets Cream's mother for the first time. Vanilla welcomes him into their home, and as he spends more time with mother and daughter, he finds it harder and harder to leave, for reasons that he didn't initially expect. Shadow has never tried to start a new life with a new family after the tragic events of the Ark, and he hadn't even thought it was possible... but for the first time, he realises that he might be able to have a fresh start and allow himself to love once again.
