Relief and peace
The protagonist, filled with relief, feels a sense of justice and peace. ‘It’s over,’ I exhaled, feeling the weight of the past few months ease off my shoulders.
My brother approached, eyes filled with gratitude. ‘Thank you for standing by me,’ he said, pulling me into a hug.
The courtroom felt less oppressive, filled now with a sense of closure. ‘We can finally move on,’ Uncle Paul added.
The family’s collective sigh of relief was palpable.
