I enter the conference room quietly. Haylee is snoring softly on the couch. I sit down at the table and can’t bring myself to wake her up.
There’s time for working. There’s going to be so much more time.
For now, I’ll let her sleep. Then we’ll get back to it.
And later, I’ll get back to my Julian.
I smile to myself, happier than I ever expected to be, and every day a little bit happier than the last.
THE END
