A New Plan of Action
Emily and I shaped a new strategy—more time with Sarah, more watchfulness, but without suffocating her. “I’ll plan activities with her,” I suggested. Emily nodded, “And we’ll make sure she feels safe.” The focus was clear: protect her from outside influence, especially from Tyler’s kids. Giving Sarah a normal, happy rhythm became our priority. For the first time in a while, I felt hopeful.

Emily proposed we shift things completely. “Let’s plan outings—just us. No Tyler, no tension,” she said thoughtfully. I agreed instantly. We mapped out hikes, movie nights, and small adventures for the three of us. Sarah thrived in those moments, her comfort always at the center. Building fresh, positive memories became our shield against the unease Jake and Noah had left behind.
