Months passed. The story spread across town, then across the country. People called him a hero, but Adam never chased the spotlight. He just kept fixing what was broken.

On Christmas Eve, the bikers returned—this time with Santa hats and tinsel on their bikes. Ridge carried a large box. Inside was a custom pink leather jacket with Lily stitched in gold, and a tiny helmet with flames.

“Little Rivers,” Ridge said with a grin, kneeling before her. “You’re family now.”

Lily squealed with joy and hugged him tight. Adam stood behind her, arms folded, his eyes wet. This wasn’t just a gift. It was belonging.
