house feels empty.”
My chest tightened.
“I know that feeling too.”
His eyes filled.
“I go into Sophie’s room every night.”
I looked away.
He continued.
“I keep thinking about the last morning I saw her. She asked whether I’d pick her up.”
I gripped my handbag.
“Dominic, please.”
He stopped.
“I’m sorry.”
I breathed slowly.
He wiped his eyes.
“I know apologizing doesn’t change anything.”
“No,” I whispered. “It doesn’t.”
“But I need you to know that I would give everything I own to go back.”
I looked at him.
For years, I’d believed his wealth could protect us from nearly anything.
But no amount of money could reverse what had happened.
“Dominic, do you know what hurts the most?”
He shook his head.
“It’s not only that you forgot.”
He closed his eyes.
