Chapter 7 â The Little Girl Who Changed Everything

Months passed.
Lily returned to school.
She laughed again.
She played again.
But everyone who knew her story remembered one thing.
A little girl had stood in front of a dangerous man.
Not because she wasnât afraid.
Because love was stronger than fear.
Adrian visited often.
One afternoon, Lily asked him:
âWhy did you come that night?â
Adrian smiled.
âBecause someone called me.â
Lily looked confused.
âWho?â
Adrian looked at her.
âYou did.â
She shook her head.
âI didnât call anyone.â
Adrian smiled.
âYes, you did.â
He pointed at her heart.
âYour courage called me.â
Lily smiled.

And for the first timeâŠ
She believed she was strong.
