Chapter 24: Fractured Family
Tyler's parents' divorce still lingered, a raw wound.
He visited his father, hoping for closure.
"Tyler, I'm sorry," his father said, his voice cracking.
Tyler's anger simmered. "Sorry isn't enough."
His father's eyes pleaded. "I know, son. But I love you."
Tyler's heart softened. Maybe forgiveness was possible.
Lily waited outside, her presence comforting.
"How was it?" Lily asked.
Tyler's sigh was heavy. "It's a start."
Lily's hand found his. "You're strong, Tyler."
Together, they walked into the unknown.
