Post-Hearing Gathering
That evening, Elara hosted a quiet gathering with her closest friends and family. The living room glowed with soft light and warm laughter, a sharp contrast to the courtroom’s intensity.
Marissa raised her glass. “To Elara—for her strength and courage,” she toasted.
The clinking of glasses echoed her sentiment, as those gathered celebrated not just a legal victory, but Elara’s emotional journey.
For the first time in a long while, Elara felt joy without hesitation—safe, loved, and genuinely content.
