KELLY THOMPSON'S POV
The dawn breaks with a soft golden light filtering through the trees, casting a warm glow over our makeshift camp. I awaken to the sound of voices murmuring around me, the excitement of the impending confrontation palpable in the air.
Jason stirs beside me, his expression focused and determined. I can sense the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, but I also feel the bond between us growing stronger as we prepare for what lies ahead.
“Good morning,” he says softly, his voice low and steady. “Are you ready?”
I nod, taking a deep breath to steady my nerves. “As ready as I can be. We need to gather everyone and finalize our plans.”
Eden sits up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “What’s happening today, Mommy?” he asks, his small voice filled with curiosity.
“We’re going to take back our home, sweetie,” I reply, my heart swelling with pride at his bravery. “But we have to be smart and work together with our allies.”
