After Jonathan’s death, the men continued to remember him.
When they learned about Letty’s decision to help Millie, they saw something familiar in her actions.
“She reminded us of her father,” Marcus explained.
Piper felt tears gathering in her eyes.
Jonathan had been gone for months, and she had spent much of that time trying to help her daughter live with the loss.
She hadn’t fully realized how many people still carried memories of him.
Marcus placed an envelope on the desk.
“Your husband left some things behind,” he said. “We thought today would be a good time to share them with you.”
Piper recognized Jonathan’s handwriting on the envelope.
For a moment, the room seemed to disappear around her.
It was a small reminder of the person she had lost, and of the love that remained even after his absence had changed everything.
