*Dahlia* "Where's Stella ?" Bren seems to suddenly remember our daughter as we reach the hotel room. "Colin's sister Emma has her. I didn't want to drag her around trying to find you. I got a text from her right before we got back here, she is sleeping and she will text me again when she wakes up". I tell him. He slides his arms around me. "Would you really have forgiven me… that ?" "Yeah... truth is you are my life and the idea of being without you was much worse for me to deal with, but trusting you again would have taken time... a lot of time... so I am kind of happy to hear that… mini Bren was not up for it". I sneak my arms around his neck. "I don't know what I would have done without you… the thought is like the worst nightmare... you... my family, you are everything to me
