Gratitude and Tears
Tears welled up in Laura’s eyes as the weight of Lisa’s gesture settled in. She stepped forward, embracing her friend tightly. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. Lisa hugged her back, understanding the depth of Laura’s gratitude. “You deserve this,” she murmured, her own eyes glistening. It was a moment of pure, unfiltered emotion, two friends sharing a bond deeper than words could convey.
