.........

You may not remember, but after I saw you one last time before I grew too ill to leave my bed, for the first time, I dared to imagine what it would’ve been like if things had been different.

I wanted to ask you to stay. I wanted to beg you to give me one more chance.

But it wasn’t my place. I’d lost that right a long time ago.

So I let you go, again.

And now… I won’t ever get the chance to see my grandchildren. To kiss their foreheads. To hold your hand during your moments of doubt and joy. To say I’m sorry in person.

Vera, my darling girl, you were the one thing I never stopped loving, even when I was silent. Especially when I was silent.

If there’s one thing I hope this letter gives you, it’s clarity.

Dorian didn’t just show up to save you, he was sent. But he stayed because he believed in you. As I always did.

And if you ever feel the urge to hate me, do it. I deserve it.

But know that everything I did, even the worst of it, was rooted in one flawed, desperate thing: love

    “What should we make?” Vera asked, tying her hair up.“Pancakes. With chocolate chips!” Eira declared with no hesitation. “And strawberries. And whipped cream. And those eggs Daddy always makes but you never let me put ketchup on.”Vera laughed, really laughed... “Alright, boss. Let’s get to work.”They moved around the kitchen in a kind of rhythm only a mother and daughter could share.Eira mixed the batter with exaggerated muscle flexes, demanding taste tests. Vera handled the stove, flipping pancakes as Eira built a tower of sliced fruit that she insisted was “architectural.”At one point, Eira accidentally squirted too much whipped cream onto a plate and gasped like she’d broken a sacred rule.“It’s fine,” Vera giggled, wiping it off. “We’ll just say Daddy did it.”They set the table together, three plates, napkins slightly wrinkled, Eira’s hand drawn place cards in crayon declaring: MOM, ME, and THE BOSS (aka DAD).When everything was done, Vera stepped back and admired their wor

    The night air clung to her skin like dew, cool and sharp, but Vera didn’t flinch. Her eyes were still glassy, lashes damp with grief, but her breathing had begun to settle.Asher hadn’t let go of her hand.He sat beside her in silence, their fingers intertwined on her knee, anchoring her to the moment, to something that wasn’t loss.“I feel like a stranger to my own story,” she whispered, her voice thinned by tears. “Everything I thought I knew… it’s been rewritten. Dorian didn’t help me out of some selfless kindness. He did it because she asked him to.”“And maybe,” Asher said softly, “he kept helping because he wanted to.”She looked at him then, eyes searching. As much as her heart was in pieces, a small part of her latched onto that.Maybe it could be both. Maybe love and duty had coexisted.“I don’t want to be alone tonight,” she admitted, the words falling out in a quiet confession, nearly drowned in the chirping crickets and distant wind. “But I also don’t want to talk anymore.

    The envelope glowed faintly in the sliver of moonlight slicing through the curtains, as if mocking her restraint.She stared at it for what felt like an hour.She thought of Asher’s words earlier, soft but steady: Maybe it’s exactly what you need to hear. To let go.And she thought of her mother’s last years, the illness Vera only heard about after it was too late, the funeral she didn’t attend because she was too busy surviving a storm that had nearly drowned her.A storm named Asher Donovan.A storm she might never have escaped without the quiet, unwavering strength she’d built alone.Her throat tightened as her gaze sharpened on the letter. What could it hold? A confession? A plea for forgiveness? Or worse, polished excuses dressed in grief? Vera wasn’t sure her heart could survive the latter.She pressed her palms to her face, groaning softly. “God, just… stop thinking.”But she couldn’t.Her fingers twitched with restless energy until the silence in the room grew unbearable. Fina

    “I think part of me believes if I never read it, then she can still be the mother I imagined in her final days. That maybe she did love me in her own way, and I never have to find out otherwise.”The silence stretched.Then Asher said softly, “Or maybe it’s exactly what you need to hear. To let go.”Vera pressed her lips together, trying not to let the war inside her show on her face.“I’m not ready,” she admitted.He didn’t push.“Then don’t open it,” he said gently. “Not until you are. Not until you want to.”Her throat ached with a thousand unspoken words.She nodded once.“Thank you.”They stayed there, the air full of unspoken things, until Eira returned, now in fluffy pajamas with cartoon cupcakes and a sparkly headband.“I’m ready!” she declared. “Movie night begins now! I vote Tangled!”Asher grinned. “Excellent choice.”Vera forced a smile and turned toward her daughter. “Alright, Rapunzel. Let’s go.”As they walked toward the living room together, Eira holding Vera’s hand on

    The sound of keys in the door.Asher and Eira locked eyes, excitement bubbling like a secret between them.The door opened, and there she was.Vera, still in the navy blue dress she had worn to the reading, hair slightly tousled from the wind, heels in one hand, and a look of exhausted curiosity in her eyes.She blinked at the sight of them.Eira in her sparkle dress.Asher in a soft gray T shirt and slacks, hair slightly messy from cooking, standing beside a table perfectly set.“Tiramisu?” she asked, voice soft.Eira jumped up. “For you!”Vera smiled, tired, surprised, touched.And Asher?He just stood there, watching her take it all in.Watching the moment unfold.She slipped off her heels, stepped into the kitchen barefoot, and looked at them both.“You two are something else.”Asher grinned. “We had a very productive board meeting. Someone’s already planning a hostile takeover.”Vera raised a brow at Eira. “You’re planning to take over Daddy’s company?”Eira shrugged. “Maybe. Or
