Morning broke over the California hills with a magnificent surge of golden light that illuminated the entire estate. Luca stood on the grand front steps, breathing in the crisp morning air with an entirely unburdened heart.

With his head held high and his feet firmly planted on solid ground, he walked forward into the radiant sunshine, knowing that truth and justice would always stand eternal guard over their lives.
