With Brenda gone, we finally sank into our seats. “Mommy, we got them!” Jacob exclaimed, his face glowing with joy. “Yes, we did, buddy,” I replied, a wave of relief washing over me. It felt like the storm had passed, leaving behind a profound sense of calm and gratitude. As I adjusted in my seat, I couldn’t help but feel thankful the ordeal was over. A few fellow passengers glanced our way, offering silent nods of understanding. At last, everything was okay.
