Her parents stayed the day and left on the evening train. As her mother was leaving Kurt called out to her.

‘Stephanie.’ His voice was weak but unwavering.

Her mother turned to face him, surprised by the sudden seriousness in his tone.

Kurt took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving Stephanie’s. ‘When your mother and I divorced, I didn’t fight for custody for you because I thought it was for the best. She knew how to love you, do the best for you, and I was no good at any of that. I just didn’t know how to…’ His voice trailed off before he coughed and continued, ‘But I want you to know, you did nothing wrong.’

Stephanie’s eyes welled up with tears. ‘Thank you, Dad,’ she said, her voice barely above a whisper. ‘But we’re here now, and that’s all that matters.’

Kurt offered a weary smile. ‘Yes, we are. And I’m grateful to Livi for contacting me and I would like to stay in touch.’

Livi watched the exchange and, even though it was brief, she could sense a lifetime of regret and sorrow in her grandfather’s eyes.

In the corridor Stephanie, her eyes clouded with emotion, said goodbye to Livi.

‘Are you sure you’ll be okay staying here with him?’

Livi gave her mother’s hand a reassuring squeeze. ‘I’ll be fine, Mum. I want to be here.’

Stephanie hugged her tightly. ‘Thank you, Olivia. I’m proud of you. You’ve been making some brave decisions lately. And it’s good to see.’

Livi watched as her mother disappeared down the hallway. She knew this wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to be there for her grandfather, no matter what.
