Chapter 8 - The AwakeningI returned to the penthouse at 1:30 in the morning.
The lights were low.
Lavender filled the air.
I found Hannah asleep beside Leo's crib.
I covered her with a blanket.
She woke.
“You're back.”
“I'm back.”
I placed the leather bag on the table.
“Your mother's ring.”
She stared at it.
Then tears filled her eyes.
She stood.
And kissed me.
It was soft.
Desperate.
Unexpected.
When we separated, she whispered:
“I love Leo.”
“I know.”
“And I'm falling in love with you.”
I closed my eyes.
“I loved Sophia.”
“I know.”
“I thought my heart died with her.”
I looked into Hannah's eyes.
“But you brought my son back to life.”
My voice broke.
“And somehow, you brought me back too.”
I kissed her forehead.
“I love you.”
