The Question That Changed Everything
As Sarah finished speaking, a soft sound came from the stairs.
Emma stood halfway down, listening.
She walked slowly into the room and looked straight at Adrian.
“Are you my dad?” she asked softly.
Adrian’s eyes filled.
“Yes.”
Emma considered that for a moment.
Then she said calmly, “I already have a mom.”
She glanced at Sarah before adding,
“But I would like to know you. And I would like to know Lily.”
No one spoke for several seconds.
Then Adrian nodded.
“We will figure it out together.”
