Chapter 65

• My eyes widened in surprise at Dean's candid words. How could he say such things in front of the children?
• Naturally, Precious looked at me and then at Dean before inquiring, "Is it true, Mommy? Will we really have a stepfather? But I don't want a stepfather! I want my real father!"
• Frank ground his jaw, his heart shattered to see his daughter weep. He pulled her off the chair and put her on his lap and reassuredly told her, "You're not going to have a stepfather. I am your one and only dad."
