Mark: Get out of my home before police arrive!
Clara: Please Mark it was just a total accident!
Mark: I am calling the police department this instant.
Mark dialed nine-one-one without hesitation on his cell.
Clara grabbed her designer purse from the bench fast.
She ran out the front door into afternoon sunlight.
Mark dropped to his knees on the wooden floor.
He wrapped his arms around Sarah and little Leo.
He wept softly as he apologized to his wife.
Mark: I am so deeply sorry I doubted you.
Sarah: Our boy is safe and that matters most.
Two police cruisers pulled up twenty minutes later today.
The officers reviewed the clear security footage inside home.
They caught Clara three blocks away near the market.
She was arrested for child endangerment and damage charges.
Mark held Sarah's hand firmly near the wooden door.
They made a pledge to protect their small home.
Leo smiled brightly while hugging his favorite teddy bear.
The family knew their bond was stronger than ever.
