When Ethan could barely function under the weight of grief, Rachel had stepped in. Everyone called her a blessing. Everyone told him how lucky he was. Everyone insisted the children needed stability. Eventually, Ethan believed them.

And then he married her.

Rachel raised her hand toward Sophie.

The little girl immediately flinched.

The hinges squealed.

Rachel froze.

Sophie’s eyes widened. For a second, disbelief flashed across her face. Then hope.

“Daddy…” she whispered.

Noah turned his head slowly. The moment he recognized Ethan, tears filled his eyes.
