“What does this do to the wedding schedule?”

“I know. I know, baby, I’m sorry.” He kissed the top of my head. “I just meant. There’s a lot to figure out.”

I wanted to believe grief had made him sound selfish.

But when the guardianship became official, Elliot came to the house with a question that proved this was not shock.

It was what he had wanted all along.

So I took the twins home once they were released.

I made them grilled cheese.

I let them sleep in my bed.

I watched their small chests rise and fall.

And I whispered to them that I would never, ever let anyone take them away.

I had no idea then that the only person who’d ever threaten them was the one I trusted most.

The front door clicked shut behind Elliot as he strolled inside.

He tossed his keys onto the entry table like he owned the place.

I had just gotten the twins down for their nap upstairs.

The guardianship papers sat in a folder near the fruit bowl, signed and stamped that morning.

“Everything went through?” Elliot asked, loosening his tie.

“It’s official. I’m their legal guardian.”

He nodded slowly, then leaned against the doorway with a strange, careful smile.

“Honey… uh… this guardianship is only temporary, right? You’ll figure SOMETHING out for the boys later?”

I turned to face him fully.

“How long will they be staying with you? Will they be leaving before the wedding?”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
