“Congrats!” Brittany’s eyes were filled with well wishes. “I’ll definitely be at your wedding. Then Hannah and I will be
your relatives!”
Lionel chuckled at that, reaching out to ruffle Brittany’s hair. “I’m going home.”
Brittany got out of the car, watching Lionel drive away.
Once Lionel got home, Blake had just wrapped up work and was about to head to the hospital.

great girl. I enjoy her company.”

out wedding dresses with me?”

“Put the dress bill on my tab tomorrow. I’ll find someone to go with you. I have a meeting.”

Daniel didn’t buy it. His eyes were full of doubt. “Mommy, do you not want me?”
Just like those past five years, she seemed unwilling to accept him.
It hurt Brittany to hear that, but she instinctively shook her head. “No, I never thought about not wanting you.”
The past five years had left Daniel with a deep-seated fear of losing Brittany.
Brittany kissed his forehead. “I’ll never not want you. Never.”
Hearing that, Daniel was content.
Brittany asked, “Are you hungry?”
She’d been gone for a while, which might have left Daniel starving. She asked him again, “Do you want to eat?”
Daniel responded, “Daddy gave me chicken porridge. You can feed me.”

opened the thermos to find the chicken porridge still hot.
