That evening, after the house had quieted down, I sat in front of the new security monitor, watching the calm street outside. For the first time in days, I felt a sense of control returning. I knew there were still questions to answer, and the investigation wasn’t over, but I wasn’t facing it alone. Ravi’s quick thinking, Officer Leona’s support, and the steps I’d taken to protect my home gave me reassurance. As I listened to the soft hum of the house, I felt grateful for the unexpected kindness that reminded me how even small actions can help keep others safe.
