Ramiro knelt before Salomé, the girl who had been his last hope, the one who whispered the truth to him when all seemed lost.
“Thank you, my little one,” she said, her voice breaking. “Thank you for being braver than all of us.” Salome smiled.
It was the first real smile Carmela, watching from afar, had seen on his face in months. Now we can go home, Dad.
Ramiro looked at Sara. She nodded. Now we can go home. The three of them hugged in the afternoon sun, a family reunited after five years of nightmare.
Justice had been slow, but it had finally arrived. Dolores watched the reunion from afar, alongside Carmela.
