“Daddy, look!”Gail held out a drawing.Damon sat on the floor of her bedroom and studied it.“This is me?”“No.”“Are you sure? He’s very handsome.”Gail giggled.“That’s Mister Bunny.”From the doorway, Lyra laughed.“I can see the resemblance.”Damon gave her a wounded look.“You’re both cruel.”Gail reached for a doll.“Daddy, this is Princess Bella.”“We’ve met.”“No. That was before you were Daddy. You have to meet her again.”His smile softened.“Fair enough.”She placed the doll in his hands.“Princess Bella, this is my daddy.”Damon looked down, blinking quickly.Lyra stayed at the doorway for a moment, then stepped away. Gail was already reaching for another toy,

“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,”

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

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

“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
