Griffin.
Me.
The twins' ultrasound.
The threat.
Griffin stared.
“They found you.”
“Yes.”
“You thought I couldn't protect you.”
“I thought anyone close to you would become a target.”
He swallowed.
“You should have trusted me.”

“I hate the years I lost.”
“So do I.”
“But I'm not losing the rest.”
I looked at him.
“Neither am I.”
That was our real reconciliation.
