“The final transfer for the historic restoration fund just cleared, Maya,” Julian said over the quiet line. His voice was calm, steady.

“I owe my life to you and Clara for opening that door,” he said, a genuine gratitude in his tone. “Goodbye, Maya.”
“Goodbye, Julian.” I clicked off my phone, placing it gently on the desk. I looked up at the solid, peaceful ceiling above my desk. The shadows were gone.
