Guardian Max
Max continued to guard Emily, determined to protect her. ‘Good boy,’ she whispered, stroking his head.
His unwavering presence brought her a semblance of comfort amid the chaos. John noticed how Max’s vigilance never waned, his ears always pricked up, eyes darting around the room.
‘He’s onto something,’ John thought, more convinced than ever. Max’s loyalty added a beacon of hope, urging them to keep pushing through the mystery.
