"Well... Maybe the envelope is necessary after all."
"Let's just leave everything as it is."
"Don't be a coward. We've come this far, why stop now?"
"What are you going to do with that?"

They waited a month for Emma's baptism, and that same month was how long Deanna refused to see or speak to Harry. But the excuses had finally run out because Daniel would be the godfather.She couldn't avoid it—when he saw her again at the church door, arriving with his brother and nephews looking like a perfect family, he felt that familiar ache in his chest. But all those feelings had to fade eventually; he had decided they would.It was Deanna's first time meeting the baby in person, having only seen photos before. Laura insisted she hold her, though it was obvious Deanna had built walls around herself for protection against more pain.But the tiny pink bundle brought a gentle smile to her face, and for a few moments, she forgot everything else. Both men watched her cradling the ch

Leonard was going crazy, literally. He had been closely following the aspiring Prima Donna through photos published online. The latest ones he'd seen were from Harry's daughter's baptism, and Daniel appeared with her in all of them.He couldn't shake that strange sensation that had lingered since the day he met her. He didn't even know what drove him to keep insisting—maybe wounded pride because she had resisted him, or maybe the idea that she was the right woman for him.He had an episode of desperation when he called Marcus to force him to find her and convince her to return to the theater. His friend refused, and Leonard erupted in anger. All avenues were cut off, with Crusher standing in the middle blocking his path.He was tired of waiting. He had done his part, and nothing was r

Leonard's blood ran cold in an instant. The man with the fewest scruples and the least shame suddenly felt like crying. The connection he'd felt with her wasn't physical after all; something deep inside had drawn him to her, and he'd mistaken it for desire. Wanting to die didn't even come close to what he felt in that moment.Everything made sense now. He'd once told Marcus that Deanna sang like an old soul; she was like her mother. His cold and dismissive mother had also sung when his father met her, before forcing her to abandon her career and becoming a bitter woman.Deanna had inherited her grandmother's talent. But the hair and eyes were all Philippa's. He'd always had that nagging feeling of having seen her somewhere before. If he'd bothered to ask for her information from the professor who arranged her auditions, he would have

It was strange, but she opened the notification anyway. "He's cheating on you," it said. She played the file that barely lasted 3 minutes, but with each second she watched, her chest tightened more."What's wrong?" Leonard asked her.But she didn't respond.Reed stood up and approached her, took the phone from her hand, and then he saw it.The video seemed to have been recorded from a high angle in an office. Daniel's office. There he was, sitting with a woman standing in front of him. Then he touched her and this woman straddled his lap, they kissed, and the next thing was on the desk with Daniel between her legs. Shit! It was Beverly."What's happening?" Philippa began walking toward them

Daniel was growing anxious. She had gone to visit her mother that afternoon but still hadn't returned and wasn't answering his messages. Everyone had arrived quite a while ago; his plan was to try to repair relationships now that the truth was out in the open.Harry cradled Emma while feeling the same unease. Was she avoiding him? Maybe she was deliberately running late so she wouldn't have to show up because he was there. But that wasn't like Deanna—she never hid from confrontation.Someone mentioned a car pulling up. Daniel glanced out the window and saw a vehicle parked at the entrance, but nobody was getting out."Want me to wait?" Leonard asked."I thought you were worried about him seeing you?"

"What happened?" Camila asked Harry."Your son is an idiot. He lost the only good thing he could have by sleeping with Beverly.""What? That can't be...""What can't be, mom? I told you not to mess it up!" he shouted at his brother.She entered the bedroom, her bedroom, the one she had shared with him for so long; she leaned against the door and tried to fight the anguish that was making it difficult to breathe. She inhaled and exhaled through her mouth several times, large amounts of air each time; she was about to break down.She grabbed a bag from the coat rack and hurriedly, without looking at what she was taking, began to fill it. She didn't even need any of that stuff; she just wanted

Daniel woke up in his office, still with the door closed when the children left for school. Fortunately, Susan had refused to leave that night. She stayed with the children in Ethan's room, not coming out, but the shouting was heard anyway. She had to comfort Naomi and Jonathan who had been frightened by their father's harsh voice.She knew him, knew her brother very well. All that wall of cement and ice that made up his armor was nothing more than a defense for him; inside he would be breaking into pieces. Before leaving for school, she tried once more to knock on his door, but got no response.He would stay there until he had no choice but to face reality again. Silence was falling over the house once more, but this time it would feel heavier and more oppressive. The pieces of the phone and the ring had been left on the floor in the livin

Just as Leonard struggled with bitter memories, Daniel was about to experience the same thing. Another anniversary of Emily's death was approaching, and when that happened, the days leading up to it were usually very quiet. Now her memory was not a source of sadness, but the longing was still there.Daniel would take his children to visit her and leave flowers; he didn't go as often as he did in the first few months, when he would spend the day sitting in front of her grave, talking to her in his thoughts and crying. It was a very difficult time to get through because he felt abandoned and scared, even though he didn't admit it.Since Deanna joined the family, the ritual had changed only slightly. Now she was the one who looked for the prettiest flowers to give to the children to take to their mother. It was a way of thanking her, in her heart, for the beautiful children she had given Daniel and for being his strength in many difficult moments.Blue and pink lisianthus, a huge bouquet
A Wife For My Brother Forgiving does not mean forgetting, but remembering without resentment
So, that morning, a new Crusher arrived in the world. Amanda was dropping Emma off at daycare when she had the first signs that her son was on his way. Just as she let go of her little girl's hand and handed her over to the teacher, the clear puddle wet her feet.Harry rushed down from his office when he was called, making such a commotion that even Daniel ran with them. But Amanda was fine; apparently Ryan was going to take his time. That didn't stop both men from panicking, Daniel barking orders to bring the car to the door, Harry in a state of desperation.“I'm fine... Harry, calm down! The contractions aren't that strong,“ Amanda tried to calm him down.“Are you okay? Are you sure? What hurts? Daniel, we have to go to the hospital!”“I know! They're bringing the car! Can you walk, Amanda?”“Yes.” And she stood up.“I'll carry you!”“Calm down, Harry! I'm fine...”Amanda walked slowly but steadily to the door. The scene was funny. She was fine and normal, her legs were a mess, but

“OH MY GOD! You were serious!”“Of course I was serious, please!Leonard raised his arms in clear indignation and Deanna almost fainted.“Let me see it again… It's beautiful.”“Do you think she'll like it?”“Are you kidding? That thing is just like you: flashy and extravagant. She's going to love it!”Reed smiled smugly.“I'm nervous...” he confessed.“I can't believe it, I swear. Sometimes I look at you and I can't believe how much you've changed.”“For the better?”“To be the best.”“Is it okay if I ask her on your birthday? Everyone will be there...”“Of course! If you do it in front of the family, it will be clear that this is real and serious for you... And between you and me, I can't wait to see Daniel and Camila's faces,” she said teasingly and conspiratorially.Leonard glanced at her and smiled mischievously."Every day you look more like Reed... How are my granddaughters?"“They're very active, all the time, and they wake me up at night.”“They're just like you. Marcus sent h

And Daniel wasn't the only Crusher dealing with doubts and uncertainties. Harry was also still learning, but for him, the learning curve was different: he had left behind a toxic relationship, devoid of affection and love, for one that was completely opposite. And sometimes, just sometimes, the resentment from those times would leave a lump in his throat.Even though Amanda was about to give birth, Harry still hadn't taken that next step in their relationship: marriage. He truly wanted to marry the mother of his child, but he had bitter memories from his last marriage that were holding him back.“I understand, Deanna, it's not easy for him to accept that things have changed,” Amanda said one warm afternoon as they sat together enjoying the last rays of sunshine.“That child was very lucky to have found you. I guess he still has a lot of open wounds.”“Yes... but he also became a happy and funny man. He's nothing like the Harr
A Wife For My Brother I love you not for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you.
For the other grandfather, the more worldly one, everything was new. He couldn't share Charles's vision regarding children and grandchildren. He had only just learned to be a father to Deanna, when she no longer needed him to grow up. And he was still learning. Grandchildren? That was in another dimension.He had spent half his life immersed in resentment, hatred, and self-punishment. He reflected his mother's rejection in the women around him: his wife and daughters. He carried the unhappiness of lost love and felt nothing but fleeting moments.And in the blink of an eye, he had a family and a stable relationship that complemented him. He and Susan were something neither of them suspected or planned; they grew closer after Deanna and Daniel remarried, at family gatherings, in casual conversations. Until one day he realized he couldn't stop thinking about her.Old Leonard dusted off his true charm to win her over; because this woman was not like the others, this

He held her hand as they waited for their turn for the ultrasound. One of her feet kept tapping the floor, causing her knee to rise and fall.Several other couples were waiting, some women alone, and they looked at them curiously. You couldn't help but notice the 15-year age difference, especially Daniel's increasingly noticeable gray hair. And, for some reason, Deanna's face looked more cheerful, fresher, and younger.“Don't be nervous,” she said, giving him a small smile.He just looked at her and smiled back. He was always nervous for her and their children; he couldn't help it. Even if everything was perfect and normal, Daniel always worried. It was just the way he was.Finally, it was time to go in, and the specialist welcomed them with everything ready.“Would you like to know the sex of your babies?” she asked.“Yes.”“Very well... Then let's check how they are first.”She

Deanna continued singing throughout her pregnancy, but it became increasingly difficult. Carrying two children growing inside her and still shining on stage, captivating the audience with her voice and stage presence, was becoming difficult. Daniel accompanied her to every performance, proud of his wife and excited about the belly that grew every day.“I can't do this anymore,“ she told Leonard as she stepped off the stage.Wagner's Tristan and Isolde was the opera Marcus had chosen for that season.“Don't worry, I'll talk to Marcus and we'll find a replacement for you. It's time for you to rest, baby,” he said worriedly.He held her hand as if she were going to fall or fall apart. For Reed, it was a new experience. Despite Alice's pregnancies, he had never been involved in anything like this. But now he could see his grandchildren growing inside his daughter and was experiencing all kinds of emotions.Deanna was so touched

When the last page of the document was signed, Harry could finally breathe deeply. It was over. Laura tried to fight it, but she had nothing left; none of the Crushers supported her. And the first thing he did with his freedom restored was to go and bring back the mother of his child. They settled back into Amanda's small, old apartment, for the time being. The house had gone to Laura, and Harry had no interest in going back there.And although Emma was legally in the care of her grandparents, she moved in with them. And for the first time, she was able to experience what it was like to have a loving family. It was easy for her to bond with Amanda, the little girl got along with everyone, especially when she received kisses and hugs and heard stories before going to bed. Having the same person take her to daycare by the hand and then pick her up to spend some time at the park soon became a habit for the little girl.Amanda asked Deanna to be her son's godmother and Dan

“Well, what shall we do? Shall we have dinner?“ asked Leonard.“Please, I'm starving...” replied Deanna.“Get changed and let's go the Liverpool, my friend has booked us a table.”“Are you coming, Harry?“ asked Daniel.“Harry said he had things to do, but we'll take Emma,” replied Deanna.He rushed out with his phone in one hand and his car keys in the other. He had no idea what was going on, all he understood was that the envelope he was now carrying inside his jacket gave him the freedom he so desperately wanted. Freedom without fear.How had Deanna gotten it? He didn't understand either. All he could see was the road ahead. As he drove, he realized what he was feeling, what he really needed. It wasn't an impulse or a consolation. He wanted to see her, hear her, be with her, beg her for forgiveness and plead with her.When he arrived at the address on his GPS, he got out of
