Charlie couldn't help but lift her eyes to look at Charles.
She met his gaze-so full of love. His eyes were red and rimmed with guilt, but the way he looked at her was impossibly gentle. It was as if nothing else in the world mattered but her.
Her mom used to look at her the same way.
Charlie knew, without a doubt, that her mom loved her.
So, did that mean he loved her, too?
Charlie's lips pressed together in a stubborn line. Suddenly, she turned away, flopped down on the bed, and pulled the covers over her head, face buried in the pillow. Her little hands clutched the blanket tight, pressing it over her ears.

Charles didn't push. He'd already said everything he needed to, made his feelings known.
He knew he'd hurt Charlie too much. He never expected her to forgive him right away. As long as she let him stay by her side, gave him a chance to make things right, that was enough for him.
Over the next few days, Charles insisted on taking care of Charlie himself.
He cooked all her favorite meals-pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, creamy mac and cheese, homemade chicken soup. He'd watched old security footage from Oakwood Manor just to learn the dishes she used to love.
