The night I relied on my child's instincts and realized their strength.

After dropping my husband at the airport, I expected a quiet drive home. But my son, Kenzo, suddenly stopped and whispered unsettling words. He heard something worrying when his dad was on the phone that morning.

Despite trying to reassure Kenzo, I couldn't shake off the feeling. Against my instincts, we parked away from home, pretending everything was normal while anxiety gripped me.

Memories of my husband's recent behavior flooded back: increased insurance policies, asset transfers, and growing distance. Kenzo's words made me question what I had ignored.

A dark van stopped outside our home as two men entered with a key, setting off a fire. Watching from a distance, we realized trusting Kenzo's instincts had saved us from danger.

Neighbors watched in shock as firefighters arrived. My husband's message felt hollow amidst the chaos. Trusting my child had indeed protected us.

As we watched the fire, I understood the fragility of safety and the power of a mother's intuition. Sometimes, the quietest warnings can save lives in unexpected ways.
