My wife walked away three days after our twin daughters were born and never came back. Eighteen years later, she appeared at their graduation with expensive gifts and a polished explanation for her absence. What she did not expect was that our daughters already knew the truth.
There was a box hidden in the back of my closet.
Lily and Grace did not know about it until they were sixteen.
Remember that.
They were only six hours old when Claire looked across the hospital room and said, “I can’t do this.”
