Everything changed one night during one of Tara’s loud gatherings. There was shouting, smoke, and the sudden crackle of fire from the kitchen. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the house was badly damaged. When insurance agents arrived, Tara’s confident smile faded. The documents showed that the property was still in my name.
Repairs began immediately — under my direction this time. Tara was forced to move out, and I quietly returned to the place that had always been mine. The barn was cold, but my heart was warm again. I watched as the workers restored the walls and floors George once touched with his steady hands.
Weeks later, Tara sent me a short letter. She apologized, said she had acted out of fear and pride. Reading it, I felt the heaviness lift from my chest. I forgave her — not for her sake, but for my own peace.
Now, every morning I sit on the porch with my coffee, sunlight spilling over the fields. The house stands strong again — just like me. I whisper a quiet thank-you to George and Adam, knowing they’d be proud that I came home, after all.
