Chapter 16 - THANKSGIVING AT GREENWICH
On Thanksgiving Day, snow fell softly over the stone cottage in Greenwich, creating a picturesque winter scene.
A roaring fire crackled in the living room fireplace as the delicious aroma of roasted turkey filled the air.
Julian, Maria, Lily, and Agent Davis gathered around the long oak dining table set with white porcelain.
Lily sat at the head of the table, wearing her favorite pale pink button-up cardigan over a festive white dress.
"I am thankful for Uncle Julian, Maria, Teddy, and our safe home," Lily prayed softly before the meal.
"Amen," everyone echoed with warm, genuine smiles, clinking their glasses together in heartfelt celebration.
Julian looked around the room, feeling immense gratitude for the peaceful life they had restored from chaos.
Through the window, the pine trees stood tall under the silent, starry winter night.
Every shadow of cruelty had been permanently erased from their lives.

Their home was a true fortress of love and security.
