“Can I….” Jiro stared at the baby with longing as he cleared his throat and asked, “Can I hold her?”

Gently extracting Hope from her father’s hold, Malorie placed the baby in her uncle’s arm. Had she not already forgiven him, Jiro’s stricken expression was enough to convince her he truly repented his actions. Had things turned out differently, she wasn’t sure if she would have had the strength to forgive him but that wasn’t worth considering. It was because of Jiro that she almost lost Hope but it was also because of Jiro that Hope was saved.
