Adoption Day Turns Into a Meltdown After One Question Changes Everything
Olive Had to Face the Judge Alone
The room felt emptier without the Quinns beside her. The judge’s office was unnervingly quiet, and Olive’s heart raced with every step she took inside. His warm smile was meant to ease her, but it did little to calm her nerves. Everything about this was new and uncomfortable.
Trying to make her feel at ease, the judge offered her a juice box from the fridge, a small gesture meant to break the ice. He asked gentle questions about life with the Quinns, watching her closely for any sign of more profound thoughts. But Olive remained distant, answering briefly, keeping her guard up. She wasn’t ready to trust him yet.
