Chapter 16 - Celebrating Mia's Seventh Birthday At The Mountain Lodge

In October, the mountain lodge was decorated with colorful balloons, autumn leaves, and bright fairy lights for Mia’s seventh birthday.
Classmates from her elementary school, neighbors, and Agent Vance came to celebrate the happy occasion with the family in Maine.
Mrs. Higgins baked a massive three-tier chocolate birthday cake decorated with pink frosting roses and seven glowing wax candles.
Mia made a special wish, blowing out all seven candles in one deep breath as everyone gathered around the table cheered loudly.
Damian presented her with a beautiful, custom wooden easel and a professional set of oil paints, knowing her passion for art.
“Thank you, Uncle Damian! You’re the best uncle in the whole wide world!” Mia cheered, throwing her arms around his neck.

Agent Vance smiled warmly, sharing a cup of cider with Damian on the porch as the children played tag on the lawn.
“You built something incredible here, Damian,” Vance said softly. “You gave this little girl a real future out of total chaos.”
