Chapter 7 - Graham Took Elena Back to Their First Apartment—And Asked Her to Start Their Story OverThe apartment was still there.
Smaller than they remembered.
But familiar.
Graham unlocked the door.
Elena stepped inside.
She cried.
“I thought it was gone.”
“I bought it six months ago.”
“Why?”
“Because I knew we'd come back.”
They walked through the rooms.
The kitchen.
The living room.
The tiny bedroom.
The place where they had first said “I love you.”
Graham took her hand.
“I don't want to erase what happened.”
“I don't either.”
“I want to build over it.”
She nodded.
Then he pulled out a box.
Inside were two tiny birth bracelets.
Caleb.
June.
“I got these from the hospital.”
She smiled.
“You were there?”
“No.”
His voice broke.
“But I wanted something from the day they came into the world.”
She cried.
Then hugged him.
They decided to renew their vows.
