She then proceeded to go through another door. It wasn't locked so she went inside and locked the door right after. She looked around the area and she was surprised to see that it doesn't look any different from a normal house. Aside from the fact that it's door is bullet-proof. Though she's already inside, the fact that the armed men who were chasing her were still outside. She cant hide here forever but she can't come outside. She's stuck! She tried to look for something that she could use to protect herself. Scott said that the house is a safe house, Maybe it has some feature or weapon she could use to protect herself just Incase they found a way to break in. She started wandering around the house. It was completely sealed from the inside, She then started to open some of the rooms one by one. She finally landed on the last room in the middle of the house.

Estonia "Hey, sleepyhead, wake up". I heard a familiar soft voice and a hand that was gently caressing my cheeks. I slowly opened my eyes and I was quickly greeted by the warmest eyes I ever laid my eyes on. "Hi". I shyly replied. He helped me out of the car since my legs are still weak and my body is aching due to a stunt I pulled with the car during the chase. I was having a hard time walking, But my eyes widen my feet suddenly lift from the ground. I quickly looked at Travis who lifted me princess style while looking straight to where we're going. I smiled to myself and leaned my head against his chest, feeling the warmth of his body. I was scared that I wouldn't get the chance to hug him again.

I don't know why I still feel sleepy though I just woke up. Maybe it was because of the adrenaline rush during the chase. I let Travis l
A New Beginning Estonia sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes tracing the familiar patterns on the bedroom wall. The room was filled with a comforting silence, interrupted only by the soft hum of the ceiling fan. It had been a few weeks since she and Travis had reunited, and while the shadows of the past still lingered, there was a sense of peace she hadn't felt in years. Their reunion had been unexpected but inevitable. After spending months apart, neither could deny the pull they felt toward each other. The hurt and confusion that had once dominated their lives were now slowly fading, replaced by a renewed understanding and commitment to each other. Travis entered the room, his footsteps soft but deliberate. He paused at the door, watching her for a moment before crossing the room to sit beside her.

Estonia and Travis were learning to navigate the new terrain of their relationship, one that was no longer overshadowed by fear or the need to protect each other through distance. Yet, as much as their love had survived, there was still work to be done to fully heal from the scars of the past.Trust, once broken, had to be rebuilt brick by brick.
