Chapter 12 - Adrian Asked Me to Choose Between the Man I Had Loved and the Man Who Had Saved My Family—But I Refused to Let My Past Decide My FutureAfter the trial, Nathaniel came to me.
“I want you to be happy.”
“I am.”
He looked at Adrian.
“I know.”
He smiled.
“You should marry him.”
I laughed through tears.
“You don't get to decide that.”
“No.”
He nodded.
“But I can tell you what I see.”
“What?”
“A man who loves my daughter.”
He looked at Adrian.
“And the woman I never stopped loving.”
I cried.
Nathaniel hugged me.
Then he hugged Mia.
He wasn't disappearing.
He wasn't leaving.
He was simply becoming something different.
A father.

Not a husband.
And that was enough.
