As the preparations for the weddings continued, the larger picture of New Haven's growth began to take shape. Over the past several weeks, new houses had been constructed on the outskirts of the community, forming the foundation for a farming village down in the valley below the main mansion. This expansion marked a significant step forward for their survival, it wasn't just about defense and battle anymore. Now, they were creating a home, a place where families could live, work, and thrive.
George, Raven, and Lucy walked through the valley together, surveying the progress of the new homes and the farming plots that were being established. Jackie had gone ahead to check on the construction of the barn, which was expected to be completed in the next couple of weeks.
