Adam stayed for a little while, sharing stories about his childhood with Adrian and Lucy, making them laugh. Brianna listened, feeling an unexpected lightness in her heart. Her earlier worries faded, replaced by the warmth of knowing there were still good people in the world.
When it was time to leave, Brianna hugged Adam tightly. “Thank you for everything. You didn’t just make Adrian’s birthday—you reminded me that miracles can happen when you least expect them.” Adam smiled, saying, “It was my pleasure. You’re doing an incredible job, Brianna. Don’t forget that.”
