Trevor "It's so peaceful out here," I said to my son and looked around. The water gently rocking our small green boat. "Yea," Emmett sighed and threw the fishing rod into the lake.

Caroline I walked into the kitchen to find my father hugging my mother from behind, kissing her neck.

Dakota The visiting hours ended and it was just me, my sleeping husband and our newborn son who were left in the hospital room. I got comfortable in the chair, Emmett's tiny head resting on my shoulder. I was watching his eyelids slowly closed and then open a little just to fall down again. It… Continue reading Chapter 4.31

Dakota I woke up from the anesthesia and saw my parents sitting next to my bed, my mom holding Emmalee on her knees. "Is he..." I couldn't even bear to finish this thought.

Trevor I packed my bag and put it near the front door so I can grab it on my way out, after I say goodbye to my wife and daughter. "Drive safe, honey," Dakota said and kissed me, "we'll miss you." "I will miss you too," I returned the kiss and then bent down to… Continue reading Chapter 4.29
