Everything transparent.
One night, Graham found Elena in the nursery.
She was holding June.
Caleb slept beside her.
“You okay?”
She nodded.
“I was just thinking.”
“About?”
“How much changed.”
He leaned against the door.
“I know.”
“I came here with nothing.”
“You came with two children.”
She smiled.
“And fear.”
“I understand.”
She looked at him.
“Do you regret finding me?”
“Never.”
“Even after everything?”
He walked over.
“Especially after everything.”
He kissed her.
Their marriage had not been rebuilt in one dramatic moment.
It had been rebuilt in ordinary ones.
