At the agency, Eleanor met Samantha, discussing her application and hopes for adoption. Samantha, sensing Eleanor’s determination, encouraged her to meet Charlotte in person.
During their park meeting, Eleanor bonded with Charlotte, drawn to her resemblance to Ava. Over time, Eleanor prepared her home for Charlotte, involving Joseph in their evolving family dynamic.
