I didn’t even know why I was letting that one interaction affect me so much, but it did.

Jensen looked up at me while he buckled Elodie in. He smiled but said nothing before continuing. I grabbed Elodie’s little hand in mine.

It wasn’t until Jensen got to the driver’s seat that Elodie spoke.

“Millie?”

I could see Jensen’s eyes on us through the rearview mirror. “Yeah?” I answered.

“You can be my mom if you want to.”

I met Jensen’s gaze in the mirror before I completely lost it.
