Chapter 122

• I’m Daddy Spencer again, but that’s ok. I hold her so tight and she drifts off to sleep so much more quickly than usual. Her breath is quiet but steady, and just being next to her soothes me. I never want to let her go.
• I love my sweet little Violet more than I’d have ever imagined. It’s more than desperation for a life less lonely than the one I’ve been living for so long.
• It’s in her quiet grace. Her sweet smile. Her easy laugh. It’s in the way she’s so kind, the way she cares for me, looks up to me, the way she appreciates everything I do for her.
