It had been a month since Amanda was taken off life support. The lives of the Evans, Moriarty, and Palmer
families had changed drastically.
No one saw it coming. No one could've imagined that all the peace they'd been living with the stream of good
news, one after another-would end so suddenly.
Sadly, what the whole family feared most had ctrue: Amanda didn't make it. Lucius was the one who had to
make the painful decision. She needed to rest- she had to go. She couldn't keep living like that... not really alive,
not truly dead. It was something she had once confessed to him during a pillow talk-that being in that kind of
state terrified her.
Lucius stood before the plague marking where his young, beloved wife rested, holding a bouquet of flowers. She
had never told him which ones were her favorite, so he brought her a mix-one of everything.
Standing there, he couldn't stop the lump in his throat from forming, or the tears from welling in his eyes as he
remembered the absurd way she'd left him. Her last look, her final smile, the final the felt the warmth of her
body in his arms-it all played in his mind.
He cried in silence, still trying to accept that she was really gone. But it was impossible not to cry.
Amanda had cinto his life out of nowhere. Now that he thought about it, it was as if life itself had
foreshadowed it—she was never meant to stay.
He had met her one day at a café, though she insisted they'd actually met earlier —at the airport, arguing with
Moriarty. She always claimed she'd liked him first and never let him forget it. But he remembered meeting her
while she worked at the café.

him no tto talk to her, and even less to go on their first date. And even less than that to move in together.
They took longer to make their relationship public than they did to end up pregnant.
The only thing they didn't rush was getting married-and that was only because Moriarty wouldn't let them live in
sin. They had lived every. moment like there was no
tomorrow. And in the end,, 2 em
wasn't. They lived everything.. everything except the life they were supposed to have with their daughter. That's
where life failed them.
He cried because his daughter never got to know her mother. She never got to feel her, see her, be held or
comforted by her.
His daughter never got that first caress, that first kiss, that first meal. They missed the photo session they'd
planned for before and after the birth. Just thinking about it tore him apart more than anything.
It hurt to look at his daughter, to hold her and know she'd never be in her mother's arms. Because Amanda had
been unconscious the day she was born.
"Oh, Amanda... You would've loved our daughter. She looks just like you-got your attitude too," Lucius said, his
voice trembling. "She's a little screamer, just like you were. And God, | miss your yelling... | miss hearing you sing
off-key, | miss your smile and your mischief."
"Angela's been helpingtake care of her. She stayed hwith her today- says she's still too little to bring
here. But maybe in a few months, I'll be able to."
"You should see Moriarty-he's gone crazy for her. And Angela and Valentina Even more so. My dad wantedto
move in with them
but | couldn't. They have their own lives. Diana's pregnant. | don't want to burden them-not when they need
peace, when Diana need rest and special care."
"You and | thought we could handle everything... and we couldn't. We never saw
it coming. School, homework, the pregnancy-everything and nothing at once.
We were careless, just like you once said..."
