The Handover

The next day, the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting soft golden light across the room. Despite the warmth, the air in the house was thick with tension.

Matt had taken charge of organizing the escape plan, his skills as both a lawyer and former military man really shining during these tough times. Over breakfast he spread a large map of the city across the dining table, marking potential safe houses, exit routes, and rendezvous points.

Mia listened attentively, occasionally checking on Misty who was having her first meal of the day as well over in the kitchen.
