“Roman?” Karisa caught his attention cautiously.
“Do you know why I left four years ago and never looked back?” The room was silent, waiting for him to answer his own question, “I left because when I looked around me, I didn’t see anything worth sticking around for.” He turned around to face the crowd.
“Roman, we never meant for any of it to happen.” The man he

Roman, Elijah, and her father were watching baseball with more fervor than she’d ever seen before, making her smile. “They get along like a house on fire.” Karisa came to stand beside her with a glass of her own and gazed at the trio screaming orders at the television. “I’m really glad about that.” She glanced at Karisa only to find her studying her intently. “In all my years I've never seen my son so infatuated by someone.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully, “Not even Caralynn.” She added, grasping Sierra’
