After dinner, I expected things to be a little awkward between us. But when I excused myself to the bathroom, Andres offered to read to Sammy and tuck him in.
I could tell he was enamored with the whole calling him Dad thing, and I had to admit, tears pricked my eyes every time my boy uttered the word.
Sammy looked so happy and proud, calling Andres Dad. And it felt so right.
Andres was kind, attentive, and patient with Sammy. Hell, he’d already spent more time with him than Gary ever had.
Sammy had nothing of his biological father in him. He looked like me. His dark hair and hazel eyes were so like mine. He was a wonderful little boy, and I was lucky to have him.
After kissing his head and asking him if he was okay with Dad reading his bedtime story, Sammy had practically pushed me out of his room.
Andres had just sat there, grinning like a peacock.
