Chapter 30 - THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING
On Thanksgiving Day, snow fell softly over the Greenwich estate, covering the manicured lawns in a pristine white blanket.
A massive roasted turkey and traditional American dishes filled the long mahogany dining table in the formal hall.
Marcus carved the turkey while Evelyn served sweet cranberry sauce and warm mashed potatoes to the cheering children.
Agent Vance and Detective Miller joined the feast, raising their water glasses to give thanks for safety and unity.
"I am thankful for my daddy, Miss Evelyn, and our puppy," Leo announced proudly before taking a bite of pie.
Everyone laughed warmly, the room filled with genuine love and comfort that warmed the cold winter night.
After dinner, Marcus stood by the fireplace in his study, watching the snowflakes dance outside the windowpane.
Evelyn walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her cheek against his back.
"We finally made it, Marcus," she whispered peacefully. "Everything is exactly as it should be."

"Yes, Evelyn," Marcus agreed, smiling warmly. "Our family is safe, and our home is complete."
