Days turned into weeks as they hid in the cabin. Sarah found solace in painting, creating landscapes inspired by the surrounding wilderness. Ethan spent his time devising ways to keep them safe, setting up traps and surveillance around the property.
Despite the constant tension, their love for each other remained a source of strength. They talked about their dreams, made plans for the future, and found moments of joy in the simplicity of their new life. But the shadow of the covert organization loomed large, a constant reminder of the danger they faced.
One night, as they sat by the fireplace, Ethan took Sarah's hand. "I hate that we have to live like this, always looking over our shoulder. I want to give you the life you deserve."
Sarah squeezed his hand, her eyes filled with determination. "Ethan, as long as we're together, that's all that matters. We'll get through this. I believe in us."

Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
