Traded For His First Love
“She’ll never hurt you again.”
Josh clapped Elliot’s shoulder, his voice gruff. “Florence would be proud, mate. You stood tall.”
We left the courtroom, the weight of justice settling alongside our grief. Outside, the London sky was clearing, a sliver of sunlight breaking through the clouds, a quiet promise of healing. Sammy and Avie waited at home, their laughter a beacon we’d return to.
Jennifer was finished, her shadow banished, but Florence’s love—her fierce, flawed, redemptive love—would linger in us forever. As we walked hand in hand, I felt Elliot’s strength, our family’s resilience, carrying us forward into a future free of her poison.
