The Truth Revealed

As they finished their meal, Sarah leaned back in her chair, a serious expression on her face.

"I think it's time we talked," she said, her eyes locked on Julian's.

Julian nodded, his heart racing with anticipation. What did Sarah know about Sophia's past?

Sarah took a deep breath before speaking. "Sophia was involved with some very bad people," she said. "People who will stop at nothing to get what they want."

Julian's eyes widened as Sarah's words confirmed his worst fears.

"What did Sophia do?" Julian asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Sarah hesitated before speaking. "Sophia was a witness to a crime," she said. "A crime committed by the very people who are now after you and your children."

Julian's mind reeled as the truth began to sink in. Sophia had been in witness protection, and now her past had caught up with them.
