Chapter 18 - A Crisp Thanksgiving Feast Inside The Timber Lodge
On a cold, snowy Thanksgiving afternoon, the timber lodge was filled with the delicious aroma of roasted turkey and pumpkin pie.
Damian, Clara, Mia, Mrs. Higgins, and Agent Vance gathered around the long oak dining table set with fine china and candles.
Damian stood up at the head of the table, holding a glass of sparkling cider as he prepared to deliver the holiday toast.
“Two years ago, we were surrounded by secrets, danger, and corruption,” Damian said, looking around at his loving family and friends.
“Today, we are surrounded by absolute truth, safety, and a love that can never be broken by any force in this world.”
“To family, to freedom, and to the bright future we share together in this beautiful home.”

Mia ate her dinner happily, holding Damian’s hand under the table, knowing she was safe, loved, and protected forever in Maine.
