The Truth Uncovered
As the security team finished, Leona returned.
“That liquid? It’s a corrosive commonly used to weaken locks,” she confirmed.
My worst fear was real—someone had been preparing to break into my home.
Then I spotted Ravi at a neighbor’s house.
“He’s here,” I told Leona.
“Talk to him, but carefully. We’re not sure where he stands.”
I approached him.
“I’m sorry about yesterday,” Ravi said. “I saw some guys messing with your trash. They looked shady. I was scared.”
“So the note was your way of warning me?” I asked.
He nodded. “I didn’t know how else to say it.”
“Ravi, you might have saved my family. Thank you.”

Forever Grateful
That night, I watched my kids sleep and stared at the new security monitors. The street looked quiet, peaceful. But I couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched.
Whatever happens next, I know this: thanks to Ravi’s quick thinking, Leona’s dedication, and my resolve, we were safe—for now. And I will always be grateful.
