“He broke into my house and tried to force me to sign over my inheritance,” I explained. Mrs. Peterson came up behind me and wrapped a warm sweater around my shaking shoulders.

Jason’s confidence finally broke when he realized he was outnumbered. For the first time in years, I saw him understand that I was no longer alone in this world.
