Julian remains in town
Deciding not to return to his city just yet, Julian opted to stay in town. He rented a small apartment, far enough to give Elara space but close enough to be part of their lives.
He immersed himself in town activities, slowly becoming a familiar face. Julian’s presence stirred memories and speculation, but he was determined to understand Elara and the children better.
He wasn’t just passing through; he was here to stay.
