“I’m sorry about yesterday,” he began. “I saw some guys messing with your trash. They looked suspicious, but I was scared they might still be around.”
Relief washed over me. “So, you left me the note?”
He nodded, apologizing again. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“Ravi, you might have saved my family. Thank you,” I said, my voice filled with gratitude.
That night, as I watched the security monitors, I felt safer, though a lingering unease remained. The cameras showed quiet streets, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that danger was still out there. Whatever the future held, I knew I wasn’t alone—thanks to Ravi’s quick thinking, Leona’s support, and my determination, we had averted a potential tragedy. Now, it was all about staying vigilant and protecting my family.
