With a gentle and unspoken understanding, Daniel reached for a nearby blanket, carefully draping it over Marie's slumbering form.

"Trust me, Marie," he whispered softly, his words a vow of protection. "I won't let anything happen to you"

"Boston," she spoke his name with a steely calmness, her voice cutting through the charged atmosphere.
"You have no right to barge in here and disrupt our lives."

"You think you can just move on and forget about me?"
Mecil's lips curled into a disdainful sneer, her expression dripping with contempt.

The words struck like a blade, each syllable laced with years of pain and suffering that Boston had inflicted upon her.
The atmosphere seemed to grow colder as the weight of their shared history hung heavy in the air.
"You were nothing but a tormentor," Mecil's voice remained icy, her gaze unwavering.
"You abused me, you tormented our daughter, and you shattered any semblance of happiness we had."
Boston's face contorted with a mixture of rage and frustration, his fingers twitching as if he wanted to lash out.
But Mecil's unwavering gaze held him in check, a silent challenge that dared him to act.
"I'm not the woman you knew anymore," Mecil's voice carried a newfound strength.
"I have found someone who has shown me what true love and protection means."
A subtle smile played at the corners of Mecil's lips, her gaze shifting briefly to Daniel, who stood beside her, his presence a reassuring anchor.
