After losing his wife Elise, Andrew struggled to envision love again. His five-year-old daughter, Tessa, kept him grounded as he pushed through grief. Then he met Laura, who, though different from Elise, connected with Tessa right away. Their relationship blossomed, and two years later, Andrew and Laura married and moved into Laura’s inherited Victorian home. However, when Andrew went on a work trip, Tessa grew anxious, fearing Laura’s sudden strictness and the mysterious happenings in the attic. Tessa’s concerns about Laura’s behavior—especially the locked attic—grew more unsettling. When Andrew returned and questioned Laura, she explained that she had been trying to create a special space in the attic for Tessa, influenced by her own past grief over losing a child. She apologized for being too harsh and misinterpreting Tessa’s needs. Andrew confronted his fears and discovered the attic, filled with baby furniture and a mural meant to honor Tessa. Laura’s vulnerability helped bridge the gap, and Tessa forgave her, finding joy in the new space. Over time, the family learned to embrace the chaos of life together, with the attic becoming a cozy hideaway for reading and play. The family’s journey from fear to understanding strengthened their bond, with Tessa’s happiness becoming the guiding force for their future
