Sitting on the couch are my two girls.

My world.

My everything.

They sit there with all of London’s new toys surrounding them, lost in their own little universe. Typical Selena, and with each passing day, typical London. A smile creeps up my lips.

Selena and I promised we would celebrate this day and not let the weight of anything else penetrate us.

I’ve stayed true to my promise, but I can’t help feeling remotely jaded. London’s birthday could have been way bigger. We are making the best of it, though, and our little girl is over the moon.

Carolina has been a huge help with keeping Selena’s mind on anything but the worry of Aria. It gives Lena a bit of normalcy back. Throughout the party, she has been there for Selena, and even now with the party winding down, Carolina, with Benny conveniently right behind her, is doing the clean-up routine.

A hand landing on my shoulder takes my attention away from Selena and London. I turn my head to the right to see Lena’s dad, Darin, standing there.

“I’m glad my daughter has someone like you to protect her,” he starts in, not even bothering with formality. Then again, that’s not really Darin’s way. If he’s got something on his mind, he just comes right out and says it. I’ve been waiting for this chat with him since the incident. I can’t imagine, as a father, what he is going through. On second thought, I could imagine. I’d be sick with worry and climbing the fucking walls. “I know things haven’t been easy for you two recently, but I want you to know it’s in times like these you find out how much you truly love someone—how you’d give your own life to take their pain away.”

Shit.

I didn’t think he would be coming over here to get this goddamn heavy.

His hand falls from my shoulder, causing my head to turn in his direction. Darin’s looking at Selena, but his eyes are vacant, lost in thought. “When we lost Lucas, I wasn’t sure I could be the man my wife needed me to be.” His words, even though it’s been a long damn time since Lucas passed away, hit me like a physical blow, straight to the chest. “I struggled. I struggled to find the ground I needed to give her the ground she needed. I, honest to God, thought it would break our marriage. He was grown and out of the house, but it didn’t feel like that for us. He was still our little boy. You get so wrapped up in the grief, sometimes you lose focus on what really matters. He’s gone, there’s nothing I can do about that, then or now, but I can live and see that my girls get through it too. It wasn’t easy, Lawson. It was probably the hardest damn thing I ever did, but I pulled up my boot straps and sucked it up. I wasn’t going to lose my wife and little girl at the same time.
