Ruth thought she was the one doing the watching.

She was wrong.

She had spent the entire morning waiting for Claire to leave.

The moment her mother picked up her bag, Ruth went still.

Claire walked to the door.

It opened.

Then closed.

Ruth waited several seconds before grabbing her things and following.

She kept a careful distance behind Claire's car, close enough not to lose her but far enough to avoid being noticed.

Claire drove through the familiar streets of Ludus.

Everything seemed normal

    “Her reputation could hurt the company.”Lyra watched Ruth force a smile across the breakfast table.“If she returns at all,” Ruth continued, “she should start in a lower position and prove herself.”Claire frowned. “You just said letting her come back would be good.”“That was before I thought about it properly.”There had been a time when Lyra would have lowered her eyes and accepted those words. Now she kept her gaze on Eric.“Before I lost my job, I secured Damon Blackwood’s interview. That can be my first assignment here.”Ruth’s smile tightened.“It would be a major feature for The People’s Times,” Lyra added.Eric nodded, then turned toward Ruth.“Isn’t Damon the man you were just telling us about?”“Yes, Dad, but—”“Why is he giving Lyra the interview

    “I'm proud of you, Lyra.”Her father’s words stopped her beside the car.Eric opened his arms, and she went to him. The familiar comfort of his embrace made her eyes fill again. For six years, she had wondered whether he would ever hold her like this.“And Gail,” he added, drawing back. “She’s a wonderful child.”“She likes you too.”“I want to spend more time with her.”“You will.”He kissed her forehead.“If you need us, call.”“I will.”This time, Lyra meant it.Claire hugged her next.“You’re stronger than you think,” she said. “And we’re here now.”Lyra held her tightly. “Thank you, Mom.”She watched their car disappear down the street before returning inside. The evening had hurt, but she no longer had to carry its truths alone

    Damon’s phone was in his hand, but Lyra needed her parents to hear her first.“I went to Vito’s apartment to surprise him,” she said. “Ruth had told me she needed to check on the florist.”Claire sat motionless beside Eric.“When I got there, her shoes were by the door. Her clothes were on the couch. Then I heard them laughing.”“You didn’t confront them?” Eric asked.Lyra shook her head. “I just wanted to get away.”“And that was when you met Damon?”“Yes. I was crying so badly I could barely see the road. My car hit his.”Claire leaned forward. “You were in an accident?”“I wasn’t badly hurt.”“That isn’t the point, Lyra.” Claire’s voice trembled. “You were in an accident the night before your wedding, and none of us knew.”Lyra lowered her

    “What did you do to my daughter?”Eric’s voice shook with anger. Lyra opened her mouth, but before she could answer, Gail stepped toward him.“Hi, Grandpa.”Her father looked down.“I’m Gail.”She opened her arms, waiting for the hug she had imagined all afternoon.Eric stared at her for a moment, then slowly bent to her height. Instead of hugging her, he held out his hand.“Hello, Gail.” His voice was rough, but quieter now. “It’s nice to meet you.”She placed her small hand in his.Lyra watched his fingers close gently around hers. For a few seconds, he said nothing. Then he looked up at Lyra, and the hurt in his eyes tightened her chest.“I hope you have a very good explanation.”“I do, Dad. And I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”Claire touched his arm. “Let’s go inside.&

    The flowers on the phone’s screen made Vito take his eyes off the road.That was not his wallpaper.He had reached for the phone to call Ruth. Damon’s words were still troubling him. His cousin had admitted that he once wanted Lyra, then suggested Ruth might have changed what she said.Vito needed to hear Ruth’s account again.But his thumb would not unlock the phone.He pulled over and entered his password. The screen rejected it.“No…”He turned the device in his hand. It looked almost exactly like his.Almost.The woman in the hotel lobby. Their collision. The two phones hitting the floor.She had picked up both.Vito stared at the unfamiliar screen.His messages with Ruth were on his real phone. So were his calls and conversations about everything they had been trying to hide.Perhaps the woman had made a mistake.He wanted to believe that. But t

    “Come on, baby. Come to Mommy.”Lyra’s voice came through Damon’s laptop speakers. On the screen, Gail stood a few feet away from her, small hands reaching forward.She took one shaky step, then another.Damon covered his mouth.When Gail fell into Lyra’s arms, their laughter filled his quiet suite. He watched the video to the end, then played it again.Her first steps. He had missed them, but Lyra had saved them for him.He opened more files from the flash drive. Birthdays, school events, holidays, and ordinary afternoons passed across the screen. A baby with tiny hands became a smiling little girl.He had known he had missed five years. Seeing those years unfold hurt in a way he had not expected.Yet he could not stop smiling.After copying the files to his phone, he opened a photograph of Gail and brushed his thumb over the screen.“I can’t get those years back,”
