Chapter 120
Five years later.
Sophie was ten. Smart. Brave. Her father's eyes. Her mother's strength.
David was six. Curious. Gentle. Chen's smile. Adrian's determination.
And Emma...named after the identity her mother had taken, the life they'd built...was four. Wild. Fearless. A perfect combination of both her parents.
They lived in the same house by the ocean. Small coastal town in Oregon. Normal life. Normal family.
She ran a small clinic now. Helping people. Healing. Using everything she'd learned from survival to help others survive their own traumas.
Adrian helped at the community center. Teaching self-defense. Mentoring at-risk kids. Turning his past into something useful. Something good.
They were the Clarkes. Just another family. Nothing special. Nothing remarkable.
