With the inheritance, Wren pays off the mortgage, repairs the car, and starts living without constant financial fear. She enrolls in night classes to pursue her long-buried dream of psychology. Ken, meanwhile, reaches out to her with an email, but she doesn’t respond. Wren realizes that her life, once held together by compromise, is now hers to shape.

As Quinn grows, Wren sees her daughter’s wisdom: “Everything is better now.” Wren has rebuilt her life, not waiting for someone to save her, but saving herself. The silence she chose over bitterness became her strength.
