| hope for what it’s worth that his injury at least helped Valerie forgive him a little. To this day, | don’t think Jai
was in his right mind when he ended up sleeping with Cara back then.
He had been so distraught | don’t think he even knew who it was in that bed, simply rambling about how he
needed to find Valerie.
| make sure I'm not making any sound as | slip into the children’s room and look at the two little angels in bed.
They're fast asleep and | realise I'm leaving them again.
I'm always leaving them. | sit down on the bed and look down at Zion, running my fingers through his dark hair.

| get up, turning away and then stop. Turning back, | look down at them once more, questioning myself.
What kind of father is never there?
One you don’t need.
| gaze at their faces, knowing I'll never forget this moment.
| love you both so fucking much and | don’t deserve you.
My eyes are stinging, but | take a deep breath, turning away for the final tand striding to the door. If | look
back, | don’t know if I'll be able to walk away with the strength | need.
Returning to the bedroom, I can still hear the sound of water. The shower is still running, and I silently lock the

her tightly.
Her heart is thudding in rhythm to my own.
“Bastien...” she murmurs, and | pull her head to my chest.
| don’t respond- | can’t.

‘It's been a long day, I'm just glad you are ok.’ | reply quietly.
She makes the mistake of looking up at me, concern clear in her eyes
