Determined to find clarity, Callum sought answers from those closest to him. What he learned was difficult but illuminating, helping him see the situation with greater honesty. He came to understand that relationships require openness and responsibility, even when the truth is uncomfortable. Rather than allowing anger or confusion to take control, he focused on creating a secure and caring environment for his daughter.
In the days that followed, Callum accepted that moving forward does not always mean preserving what once was. It can also mean adapting with purpose and choosing stability over uncertainty. Watching his daughter laugh reminded him that change does not equal loss. Their family had transformed, but it was not undone. Through resilience and care, Callum found the strength to begin again, guided by a deeper and more grounded understanding of love.
