Chapter 12
"You already do, baby."
She giggled.
And in that moment, with syrup on the table and sunlight fading through the kitchen window, I understood that I'd never really lost my family.
I'd lost the people who had taught me to accept crumbs and call them love.
What I'd gained was something far more precious.
A peaceful home.
A healthy daughter.
A life where love didn't come with an invoice.
And a little girl who would never have to wonder whether she mattered more than somebody else's vacation.
Because every single day, I would make sure she knew the answer.
She did.
She always had.
And she always would.
THE END.
