Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life.

"Morning," she mumbles, her voice lacking its usual sunshine. I set down the bowl and cross over to her, crouching to eye level.


"What's the matter, honey? Didn't you sleep well?" I brush her curls away from her forehead, studying her face. Her cheeks aren't flushed, but her eyes seem duller than normal.


She shrugs, a gesture so unlike her that concern immediately flares in my chest. "My tummy feels funny."
