Love That Ended in Vain
The day our daughter had a high fever, Matt was at a parent-teacher meeting for his first love’s son.
I called him, only for her to pick up.
Through sobs, she apologized, but Matt quickly grabbed the phone, his tone impatient.
"She’s a single mom with a kid. What’s wrong with me looking out for them?"
So, I turned to my daughter, who was quietly receiving her IV, and asked softly, "How about it, sweetheart? From now on, it’s just you and me."
