Severin
I watched Cassian play with the other kids. He pretty much forgot about me as soon as we got here. I sat on the bench and thought about how much my life had changed. I was a Dad now.
I missed his first steps and words. I wouldn’t miss anything else. His mother didn’t want him riding bikes, but I was determined to get him on his first bike. I got him a jacket and a helmet already.
Was I insane for wanting more children already?
I didn’t have a home growing up. I bounced around from home to home so much. Each year felt longer than three hundred and sixty-five days. I grew up faster than I should have. Sometimes I felt older than thirty-one.
With Cassian and Briar in my life, I was thinking about Christmas and birthday parties.
It was insane.
I’d never felt this way with any
