Surprises Ahead
As we spoke, Robbie hinted at possibilities I hadn’t considered. “Don’t give up just yet, Tom,” he said with quiet confidence. “Things may not be as grim as they appear. We’ve got a few angles to work with.” That spark of hope ignited something inside me. The simple fact that someone was actively on my side, determined to protect my interests, gave me comfort. No matter what twists were coming, I knew I wouldn’t be walking through them in isolation.

The hours until then dragged unbearably, yet I clung tightly to the fragile hope his words had planted. I needed to see what strategies he had in mind, what chances remained in my favor. There was still a possibility that this wouldn’t end in total ruin. And maybe—just maybe—I’d hold on to a piece of the life Lisa thought she had taken away.
