His voice was barely a whisper.
Lily tilted her head.
"Dad, do you regret divorcing Mom?"
Dominic froze.
He didn't say a word.
But in that split second, his mind was flooded with images of Seraphina.
The way she had looked standing in the banquet hall, laughing and chatting with the guests.
The way she looked down as she held Lily's hand.
The icy, lifeless stare she had given him.
Seeing his silence, Lily shook her head.
"It's too late."
Her tone was completely serious.
"Mom probably doesn't even want to look at you anymore."
With that, Lily pointed behind him.
Dominic turned around.
Across the street, a black car was idling by the curb.
The rear door opened, and Seraphina stepped out.
Her hair was pinned back loosely, her profile softened by the evening twilight.
Lily ran toward her.
"Mom!"
Seraphina bent down to catch her daughter in a warm embrace.
"Were you a good girl today?"
"Yes!"
Lily threw her arms around Seraphina's neck and kissed her cheek.
Just then, someone else hopped out of the car.
Phoebe slipped out from the other door, wearing a little pink backpack, and waved excitedly at Lily.
"Lily!"
Lily looked up, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw her.
"Phoebe!"
She let go of Seraphina and dashed over to her friend.
The two girls hugged each other by the sidewalk, jumping up and down in excitement.
Watching them, a soft smile touched Seraphina's lips.
