Samuel was released from custody, overwhelmed with gratitude as he stepped out of the police station. He found Leah waiting outside, her eyes filled with relief and warmth. Samuel thanked her earnestly, his voice breaking, knowing that without her, he would be in prison.
Leah smiled, feeling a profound sense of accomplishment. “You deserved the truth,” she said simply. Samuel nodded, his eyes misting with emotion. He promised to pay her kindness forward, inspired by Leah’s unwavering belief in him when no one else did.
