I looked up from the quarterly budget reports spread across my desk to find the nanny standing in my office doorway. My eyebrows shot up as she burst into the room and shouted immediately:

“Don’t take my name off the list!”

The room fell silent. All eyes turned to where she stood in the doorway, chest heaving, hair disheveled, eyes blazing.

For a moment, as I stared at her, I forgot all about the meeting. All I saw was her.

Not Stella, no…

But Ella.

Goddess, she reminded me so much of the woman I’d loved in that moment. It wasn’t just that she looked like her, but she acted like her, too. Bursting into my office unannounced, making demands, not caring what others thought…

It was so much like that fiery, stubborn side of Ella that finally came out when she first got sick all those months ago. The side of Ella that I wished I had gotten the chance to see for the five years of our marriage leading up to that.

And in this moment, it made my heart pound like she really was standing in front of me again. Like I might get another chance to see it, even if only for a moment.
