You and Mattheo had been together from first year all the way through to fifth. In those years, you built something real, something unshakable. You had Aurora together—your daughter, who had just turned one—and for a while, Mattheo had been by your side through it all. During your pregnancy, he never left you; he would press kisses across your stomach every night, whispering promises and sweet words to the little girl growing inside you. Those memories still burned bright, even now.
