He understood more now.
“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“Why didn't you tell Dad about me?”
I answered honestly.
“Because I was scared.”
“Of him?”
“Yes.”
“Did you think he'd hurt us?”
“I thought his world would.”
Ethan looked thoughtful.
“Did Dad hurt us?”
“No.”
“Then why?”
“I didn't know what he would choose.”
Ethan smiled.
“He chose us.”
I looked at Adrian.
He nodded.
Ethan was right.
