Chapter 14 - On the Anniversary of Sophia’s Death, Lorenzo Took the Boys to Her Grave—and Finally Said the Words He Had Been Afraid to AdmitThe anniversary came.
Lorenzo took Leo and my son to the cemetery.
I came with them.
He stood before Sophia's grave.
"I'm sorry."
The boys were quiet.
"I couldn't save you."
Then he looked at me.
"But she did."
He touched my hand.
"I think you'd like her."
I cried.
He continued.
"She loves our son."
He looked at my son.
"Both of them."
Leo placed a flower on the grave.
"Mommy, I miss you."
I held him.
Then Lorenzo knelt beside him.
"We'll always remember her."

Lorenzo held the other.
