“You were incredible,” Sean’s mum agreed. “I am so proud of you, my strong, brave son.”

“You were pretty cool,” Nydia agreed, patting Sean on the back.

“Well,” Mum said, coming over to hug me and Dad. “Looks like it’s all systems go for
Spotlight! The Movie Musical.
”

“And you know what that means,” I said to Sean and Nydia. “This isn’t the end at all. It’s just the beginning!”
