“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.”

Emmeline’s feet faltered.

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