ADAM’S POVI was healing and healing never happens the way people describe it.There's no sudden indicator, no moment where the pain packs its bags and leaves without looking back. Healing is quieter than that, slower even, It sneaks up on you in ordinary moments, in the spaces between words, in the sound of a small voice calling your name when you didn’t know you needed to hear it “Dad.”The word still startled me.I froze for half a second every time Blair said it, like my body was checking if my heart could handle the impact. Today was no different. I looked down at her as she slipped her small hand into mine, her fingers warm and trusting.“Yes, sweetheart?”She looked up at me with those eye that carried too much experience for a child her age, yet still held innocence I was terrified of damaging. “You said we’re almost there.”“We are,” I said softly. “Just a few more steps.”The prison stood ahead of us, unwelcoming.
