Chapter 10: The Firefighter Who Saved Me
Months passed.
My daughter was born healthy.
Her name was Emma.
The first time I held her, I cried.
Not because Alex wasn't there.
Because I realized I didn't need him to make that moment complete.
Mark visited the hospital.
He brought flowers.
"How are you?"
I smiled.
"I'm okay."
He looked at Emma.
"She's beautiful."
I nodded.
"She is."
Mark hesitated.
"Lucy..."
"Yes?"
"I'm glad I was there."
I smiled.
"Me too."

Because sometimes...
the person who saves you isn't the person who promised forever.
