Chapter 12 - A Peaceful Summer Evening On Long Island Sound

Julian, Emma, and Maria sat on the stone patio overlooking the ocean, watching sailboat hulls glide smoothly across the calm horizon.
Emma sat at a wooden picnic table, drawing pictures in her sketchbook while Julian reviewed architectural plans for a new children's park.

Julian looked at the drawing, a genuine, loving smile spreading across his face as he kissed the top of his daughter’s dark head.
“She would love this drawing, sweetie,” Julian said gently. “She is so proud of how brave and strong you have been through everything.”
