The truth was out, and Amber’s actions had serious consequences. Her recklessness and lack of judgment had put Caleb in harm’s way, and she was charged with child endangerment. It was a stark reminder that not everyone who smiles at you is a friend, and sometimes, those closest to you might have hidden motives.

For now, I was just grateful Caleb was safe and that Lily had the courage to call me. I vowed to be more vigilant in the future, keeping my family close and ensuring they were protected from even the most unexpected threats.
