Mission Pretty Possible Chapter 16.7 (Patreon)

Lucy’s expression softened, the fight in her eyes dimming to concern.“And you truly believe this is the only way?”

“I do.”

Claire stayed silent beside him — no push, no nudge, just support.

Finally, Lucy exhaled.“Then… do what you must. And I’ll stand by you.”

For the first time since Marcus died, Ethan felt an anchor settle inside him.

He stepped closer to Lucy.“Mom… please trust me. It’s my Mission now, and it’s Pretty Possible. Just stand by me.”

Lucy nodded once — firm, steady, maternal. And in that moment, Ethan felt something he hadn’t felt in weeks: Purpose. Clarity. Control over his future.
