Chapter 14 - On Ava’s Fifth Birthday, Adrian Gave Her a Gift That Had Once Belonged to His Mother—and I Realized the Moretti Family Could Finally Be Something DifferentAva's fifth birthday was quiet.

Cake.

Friends.

Family.

No politicians.

No criminals.

No secrets.

Adrian gave her a small silver locket.

“It belonged to my mother.”

Ava opened it.

There was a photograph.

Me.

Adrian.

Ava.

She smiled.

“That's us.”

“Yes.”

She hugged him.

Then me.

I saw a family.

Imperfect.

But real.

My mother watched from across the room.

May you like

She smiled.

Everything had finally come full circle.
