Chapter 11

On our son's one-month birthday, my older brother came, and so did Mom and Dad.

With tears in my eyes, I watched Selene affectionately call them Mom and Dad, and address my brother and sister-in-law.

Over the course of the meal, Mom and Dad forgave me for my youthful recklessness.

They asked me to bring Selene and the baby to visit them often when we had the chance.

That night, I held Selene and cried.

The guilt I had carried for ten years, the countless sighs in the dead of night, were finally resolved by someone for me.

It turns out that true love is unspoken, residing in our eyes and hearts, and in the days we share together.
