Three months later, the morning sun shone brightly over Dallas.
Clara stood in the grand foyer of her suburban home.
The old white balustrade railing had been reinforced with safety glass.
Framed family photos of her mother now hung along hallway walls.
David walked down the marble stairs holding two coffee mugs.
David: You look so peaceful standing here this morning, Clara.
Clara: I finally feel like this house belongs to our family again.
He handed her a warm mug and smiled warmly at her.
David: The estate trust fund was fully restored yesterday afternoon.
Clara: We can use those funds to start our children's foundation.
David: Your mother would be so proud of what you are doing.
Clara looked up at the sunny upper hallway balcony above them.
The dark memory of that terrible fall was fading away fast.
Clara: Kindness will always overcome greed in the end, David.
David: And I will always be here to catch you every time.
They stood together in the sunlit foyer surrounded by peace.
The front doors opened wide to let the warm breeze inside.
Clara took a deep breath of the fresh morning Texas air.
Her life was finally moving forward with love and security.
Clara: Let us go outside and enjoy this beautiful new day.
