Chapter 245

I’m standing at the altar, waiting. My hands are clasped behind my back, though my fingers itch to fidget. This isn’t like me–I don’t get nervous. I’ve fought battles, faced death, and dealt with betrayal from those I trusted. But this moment? It feels monumental in a way I can’t put into words.

Despite everything, my son is here, safe and whole.
