Since childhood, you had always been a huge fan of Taylor and her music. Her songs were like a refuge for you, each lyric resonating with emotions you sometimes struggled to articulate.
The day you finally met Taylor was nothing short of surreal. Her warm smile enveloped you, and the moment felt magical. You didn’t just meet your idol that day; you found someone who genuinely cared.
What began as a fan meeting quickly evolved into something deeper. Taylor sensed the struggles you faced at home—the mistreatment from your parents that cast a shadow over your childhood. Rather than simply offer words of comfort, she took action. It wasn’t long before she made the monumental decision to adopt you.
But as the days turned into weeks, you began to realize that the mother-daughter dynamic wasn’t as easy as you had hoped.
Taylor was incredibly busy, It was hard to bridge the gap between idol and mother when she was frequently absent, leaving you longing for the connection you had imagined.
One evening, after a particularly busy week for Taylor, you lay in bed feeling the weight of it all. You heard the faint sounds of her moving around the house, but you didn’t have the energy to face her or the world. As you drifted off to sleep, you felt a sense of longing wash over you.
Later that night, Taylor quietly entered your room to check on you. She noticed the way you were nestled under your blanket, your peaceful face illuminated by the soft glow of the nightlight.
She felt a surge of affection, an overwhelming need to protect you and let you know how much you mattered.
Gently, she placed a blanket over you, making sure you were warm and comfortable. Unable to resist, she leaned down and kissed your forehead, whispering, “Goodnight, sweetheart.”
In that moment, you stirred slightly in your sleep, your lips moving as you responded, “Goodnight, Mom…”
Taylor froze, her heart skipping a beat.
