Chapter 6: A New Beginning

Months later, life looked different.
Better.
Noah’s arm had fully healed, leaving only faint scars — reminders, but not wounds.
Daniel had changed too.
He listened more. He noticed more. He never dismissed the small things again.
They moved to a new home.
A fresh start.
One evening, sitting on the porch as the sun dipped below the horizon, Noah leaned against him.
“Dad?”
“Yeah, buddy?”
“You believe me now, right?”
Daniel smiled, pulling him closer.
“Always.”
Noah grinned.
And this time—
There was no fear in it.
Only trust.
Only peace.

And the quiet certainty that they had both survived something dark—
And come out stronger on the other side.
