Exhausted but hopeful, Daniel asked, “Do you still trust me?”
“Yes. Because now we are a family.”
Together, they started over, opening a small secondhand clothing store—the same type of clothing Daniel had once discarded. Marcos helped after school. The store flourished through hard work and honesty. One day, a grateful former partner left a letter praising their integrity.
Daniel regained stability, but more importantly, he regained his family. A year later, walking with Marcos, he smiled.
Daniel nodded. “Yes. Thanks to her, I found you.”
Anna joined them, smiling warmly.
The autumn wind blew again, but this time it carried hope and the promise of a new life built on love and truth.
