was true.

ry true.

Mr. Stevens continued.

“I wanted to ask you.”

Silence.

“I wanted to ask you to take care of her.”

My chest tightened.

“But I didn’t know how.”

Another breath.

“I didn’t know if it was my place.” 1

I looked down.

Suddenly struggling to speak.

“You don’t mind?”

His answer came instantly.

“Mind?”

He laughed.

“Amber.”

A pause.

“I would be grateful.”

The room fell silent again.

This time for a different reason.

Because everyone understood what he was really saying.

He trusted me.

With Iris.

With his family.

With his future.

My eyes stung.

“I promise.”

My voice softened.

“I’ll take care of her.”

Mr. Stevens sighed.

know you will.”

The call ended a few moments later.

I slowly lowered the phone.

No one spoke.

Mrs. Sun was openly crying.

Mr. Sun looked suspiciously emotional.

Grandfather looked pleased.

Jason looked at me as though I had hung the moon.

And then-

THUMP.

THUMP.

THUMP.

THUMP.

Running footsteps.

Fast footsteps.

Very familiar footsteps.

Everyone looked toward the ceiling.

I sighed.

“They heard everything.”

Jason laughed.

“Every word.”

The footsteps became louder.

Then louder.

Then-

A blur of children exploded into the dining room.

Alice reached me first.

Naturally.

She launched herself directly at me.

“Mom!”

I barely had time to react.

Alex arrived second.

Followed by Rose.

Followed by Iris.

The four of them crashed into me simultaneously.

Sending my chair backward.

Creating what could only be described as a child avalanche.

Or a puppy pile.

Definitely a puppy pile.

Arms.

Legs.

Hair.

Laughter.

Children everywhere.

“Careful!”

Jason immediately moved forward.

His hands hovering protectively.

Particularly near my stomach.

Alice wrapped her arms around my neck.

Rose hugged my waist.

Alex somehow attached himself to my shoulder.

And Iris-

Iris.

The girl who pretended not to need anyone.

The girl who never cried.

The girl who always acted older than she was.

Had buried her face against my shoulder.
