CHAPTER 13 — Noah’s Question
One night, Noah asked Claire something she never expected.
“Mommy?”
“Yes?”
“Why did Daddy choose Lily?”
Claire became silent.
She had spent years protecting Noah from the truth.

Not painful details.
Not hatred.

“Oh sweetheart…”
She hugged him tightly.
“You were always important.”
“Your daddy’s mistake was never because of you.”
Noah nodded.
