"The waiting period has passed, and both sides have agreed to the terms. Let's finish this," Kelly said, her voice steady, her decision unwavering. She had timed everything perfectly. There was no room for hesitation.

Her voice dropped. "If she won't let it go... there are other ways."

Eric understood what that meant.
