Milo held the door open for her; it was probably the last thing he would ever get to do for her.
She walked forward slowly, pausing in the doorway to face him, her eyes falling to his chest and the tie she gave him for her first and only Christmas here.
"Milo," she began softly, hesitating as she spotted Max over his shoulder. "Thank you for everything you’ve done for us," she said quietly, looking down at her son in her arms.
He nodded, thinking back to the nights he kept her company over dinners for one and the days he spent teaching Lucian the finer points of baseball.
As he closed the door behind her, he remembered Max’s warning the night the newlyweds returned from their honeymoon.
"Don’t get stupid over the new Mrs. C, ok?"
"Come on, have some faith in me."
Milo glanced back at his brother now, dreading the I-told-you-so that was sure to come.
Instead, he felt his brother's hand on his shoulder.
