Chapter 26 - The Continuing Circle
Oliver married Maya.
The wedding took place right beneath the old oak tree.
Maya, in a gorgeous wedding gown, sat in a wheelchair adorned with flowers.
Oliver knelt on one knee in the grass to place the ring on her finger.
Lily stood as the bridesmaid, crying her eyes out.
Ethan and Rosa leaned their heads against each other, watching in silence.
When Oliver read his vows, he looked toward Ethan and Rosa.
"I was once a child without a future."
"My parents gave me a home."
He squeezed Maya's hand tightly.
"And today, I promise to build a home exactly like that for us."
"A place where no one is left behind."
