Amidst their shared moments, Eleanora continued to cooperate with the ongoing investigation to reunite Tommy with his family. The police officers, working diligently on the case, provided updates on their progress.

One evening, after playing together, Eleanora received a call from the lead investigator. "We've been checking local databases and reaching out to neighboring areas, trying to gather any information that might lead us to Tommy's family," the officer explained.

Eleanora, appreciating the efforts being made, nodded over the phone. "Thank you for keeping me in the loop. I want to do everything I can to help him."

The officer reassured her, "We're doing our best, and we'll keep you informed of any developments. In the meantime, continue providing him with the support he needs. Your dedication is making a difference in his life."

As the call ended, Eleanora couldn't help but feel a mix of hope and anxiety.

The investigation was progressing, and she was determined to be a stable presence in Tommy's life, no matter the outcome.

Turning her attention back to the living room, she found Tommy already snuggled in bed, his eyes filled with trust and gratitude.

As Eleanora hummed a lullaby, Tommy clutched his favorite teddy bear, his eyes fixated on Eleanora's face.
"Is Teddy sleepy, too?" Tommy asked, his baby voice filled with innocence.

Eleanora chuckled, "Well, let's ask Teddy." She held the teddy bear close, bringing it to life with a gentle voice, "Teddy says he's ready for a cozy nap with you."

Tommy giggled, delighted by the imagined conversation. Eleanora continued to weave a tale of bedtime adventures, making Tommy's eyes gradually droop with drowsiness.

As sleep claimed Tommy, Eleanora tucked him in, planting a soft kiss on his forehead. "Goodnight, my little dreamer," she whispered, cherishing the quiet magic of their bedtime routine.

Closing the door with a quiet click, Eleanora carried the warmth of the moment with her. The moon cast a gentle glow through the curtains, casting shadows that danced along the walls—a silent testimony to the serendipitous dance of their lives.
