She’s not something separate. Not something I have to keep away from Olivia or compartmentalize into a different part of my life.

She’s already part of it.

And that? That’s the moment that seals it for me.

“Daddy?”

I glance down. Olivia’s voice is thick with sleep, her little fingers grasping onto my sleeve.

“Yeah, baby?”

Her eyelids flutter. “You seem happy.”

My breath catches.

She says it so simply. So easily. Like it’s just a fact.

I swallow. “I guess I am.”

Olivia hums, snuggling deeper into my side.

And just like that, I know.

There’s no backing out.

There’s no pretending this is temporary.

Kenzie is it.

For me.

For us.

For everything.

And now?

I just have to tell her.

Chapter 33 – Kenzie

“I’m in love with Grant Maddox.”

I know it. I’ve known it.

And yet, somehow, saying it out loud to anyone but myself feels impossible.

I sit on my couch, legs folded under me, staring at my phone like it might hold the answer. Like if I just wait long enough, the universe will give me a sign.

But the universe is silent.

I let out a slow breath, rubbing my hands over my face.

This should be easy. It should be simple.

But it’s not.

Because loving him means risking everything.
