Bella’s POV“Are we staying here?” Caleb asked as the car stopped outside the Ashford house.“For one night.” I turned toward all four of them. “I’ll come back tomorrow.”Evie looked through the window at the house. “Is it bigger than Dad’s office?”“That comparison makes no sense.”“It makes sense to me.”Noah leaned across Lily to get a better look. “Do they have a pool too?”“I have no idea.”Caleb looked at me. “You’re related to them, and you don’t know?”“I discovered I was related to them a few days ago. There has not been time for a property tour.”Lily had been quieter during the drive. She looked at the house, then at me.“Are they our grandparents?”The question deserved more care than I had given most things lately.“They are my biological parents, which makes them your biological grandparents.”“What about Grandma?”“Nothing about Grandma changes.”Lily nodded.I got out with them and collected their overnight bags from the back.Mrs. Ashford opened the front door before

Therea’s POV One year changed more than I expected and less than people would probably assume. Alex did not become the children’s father because of one weekend in London, one afternoon at a park, or one carefully arranged visit. He became their father because he kept coming back. He called when he said he would call. He remembered Caleb’s school tournament without asking me to remind him.
