Molly had never expected her life to change so drastically. Losing her mother was already a heavy burden to bear, but finding herself in the care of a father she barely knew

watched her father place a wreath on her mother’s coffin, she saw something else—pain, regret, and a love that had never faded.
Danny had been cut out of his daughter’s life for a decade, allowed only to contribute through child support payments. But now, fate had brought them back together. As
the guests trickled out of the funeral, he approached Molly with a hesitant smile.
