Traded for Gratitude, I Chose Exile

On the day we move into the new apartment, my mother, Elizabeth Carter, sends a floor plan to the family group chat.

It's a three-bedroom apartment, and a name is marked beside each bedroom.

The master bedroom is for my parents, and the second bedroom is for my brother, Benjamin Sullivan. The room with the best sunlight is labeled "Savannah's Room".

Savannah Keller's father, Liam Keller, drowned years ago while saving Benjamin, who had fallen into the water. After she becomes an orphan, my parents take her in and raise her as their own for ten years.
