Eliza breathed a sigh of relief when Arin called and told her that Marco Deluca was finally locked up.
She felt a weight lift off her shoulders, knowing that one more piece of the puzzle had fallen into place.
The day had been a whirlwind of emotions, but now, with this news, she could finally focus on the next steps.

The sterile scent of the hospital mingled with the faint aroma of the food she carried.
As she approached the door, she paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts. The journey had been long and arduous, and she knew it wasn't over yet. \
She pushed the door open gently and entered the room. Lily was lying on the bed, her leg bandaged, but she looked much better than when Eliza had first arrived.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Eliza.
