Chapter 10 - The Promise of a Safe Home
Six months later, the morning sun poured brightly through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the penthouse nursery, filling the space with warm, golden light.
The cold medical equipment was completely gone. In its place were soft plush rugs, colorful wooden toys, and framed family photographs.
Infant Leo, now a chubby, healthy one-year-old, crawled happily across the floor, chasing a small rolling ball before tumbling into Vivienne’s lap with bright, energetic laughter.
Vivienne sat on the carpet in a comfortable cream sweater, holding Leo in her arms as she kissed his forehead.
Dante walked into the nursery wearing an open-collared shirt, carrying two morning coffees. He sat down on the floor beside his wife and nephew, placing his arm around Vivienne's shoulders and pulling her close.
"One year ago, I brought you into this world of shadows," Dante said softly, his voice filled with deep tenderness and gratitude. "I thought I had to protect you from everything... but you were the one who saved our family."
Vivienne smiled, resting her head against his chest as they watched little Leo play safely in the warm sunlight.
