CHAPTER 14: THE REUNION

I met my father.

My real father.

Not Charles.

Not my stepfather.

But the man who had raised me.

The man who had loved me.

I sat down with him in his living room.

"Sophie," he said. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

"I should have told you the truth sooner."

"I know. But I understand why you didn't."

He looked at me.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I'm more than okay."

"Are you going to leave?"

"Leave? No. You're my father. And I'm not going anywhere."

He hugged me.

And I hugged him back.

Because I had finally found my family.

Not the family I was born into.

May you like

The family I chose.
