## Chapter 6: New Beginnings
Days turned into weeks, and Dave's relationship with Mia flourished. He pursued his art, feeling liberated from family expectations. Mia's support and love fueled his creativity.
One sunny afternoon, Dave took Mia to his favorite spot overlooking the harbor. He pulled out his sketchbook, capturing the scene. Mia sat beside him, her hand brushing against his.
"I'm happy, Mia," Dave said, his eyes locking onto hers. "You've changed my life."
Mia's smile lit up the day. "You've done the same for me, Dave."
As they sat in comfortable silence, Dave knew he'd made the right choice. His art and love for Mia defined him, not his family's legacy.
