“Right,” Abel said. “She’s a single mother, and I don’t want them to suffer.”

“Same here,” Emmeline’s voice caught. “If it were me, I would do the same.”

“I once had a woman,” Abel said ruefully. “She suffered with my child, but I wasn’t there for them. So, taking care of Kendra is, in a way, me making up for my own guilt.”

Abel gave a wistful smile. “Let’s not talk about her. It’s all in the past.”

It’s all in the past?

Emmeline’s feet faltered.

The hope that had just risen was extinguished by his words.
