Chapter 14 - On Their Eighteenth Birthday, the Twins Asked Griffin What He Would Have Done If They Had Never Called Him, and His Answer Made Me CryThe girls asked him.

“What if we didn't call?”
Griffin thought.
“I would have found you.”
“How?”
“I would have searched.”
“For eight years?”
“For a lifetime.”
Hazel smiled.
Iris hugged him.
Then they turned toward me.
“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“Were you ever sorry?”
I smiled through tears.
“Every day.”
“Why?”
“Because you deserved your father.”
Hazel shook her head.
“We got him.”
Iris added:
“And we got you.”
Griffin took my hand.
“You never lost us.”
That was the truth.
