Chapter 18 - EVERYONE SAVED EVERYONEFive years after the night Claire opened her door, the family gathered for Christmas.
Snow fell over Chicago.
Ethan ran through the house.
Margaret shouted at Arthur.
Arthur complained about the food.
Luca tried to hide a present.
Claire laughed.
She suddenly realized how impossible her life would have seemed years ago.
She had once believed she was the person doing the saving.
She had opened the door.
Given them soup.
Given them shelter.
But the truth was different.
Arthur had given her justice.
Margaret had given her family.
Daniel had given her courage.
Ethan had given her a reason to continue.
Luca had given her something she never thought she would risk again.
May you like
A future.
They had all saved one another.
