Chapter 15 - The House Without SecretsSix months later, Liam and Claire moved into a smaller house surrounded by trees.
There were no marble floors.
No hidden rooms.
No locked offices.
No family portraits staring down from the walls.
Just sunlight.
A nursery.
A kitchen filled with laughter.
Claire stood by the window holding their son.
Liam came up behind her.
"You happy?"
She smiled.
"Terrified."
"That's not what I asked."
She turned.
"Then yes."
Liam wrapped his arms around them.
For the first time, home didn't feel like a place.

It felt like a person.
Or perhaps three people.
