Clara received her full share of the family trust.
She moved into a beautiful sunlit house nearby Eleanor.
The top medical specialists began Clara's recovery treatments immediately.
Leo was enrolled in the best local private school.
He no longer wore dirty clothes or oversized coats.
Eleanor visited her sister and nephew every single day.
They gathered around the kitchen table every Sunday afternoon.
The gold pocket watch sat proudly on the mantlepiece.
Leo: Look Aunt Eleanor I drew a picture!
Eleanor: That is the most beautiful drawing ever.
Clara: Thank you for saving our lives Eleanor.
Eleanor: We saved each other from the past.
Leo ran over and hugged Eleanor around her knees.
She held him close and smiled with deep joy.
The family was finally whole and safe at last.
The truth had brought them all back home together.
