I won’t strip you of your rights as a father. You can see her, even take her to stay with you from time to time. Just let me have custody.”

Brandon’s milk hung in the air as he paused, then slowly set it down, looking at Sophia, “Sophia, I can’t do that.”

“It’s not fair to her either, Brandon said. “She might need a more stable environment to grow up in.
