Janie wasn’t like other children, and I’d known that from the moment I laid eyes on her at the hospital. There was something wrong with her that no amount of mothering or loving could fix. I’d accepted that fact. Christopher never had. Even to this day. That’s because she’d always been his. She’d never truly been mine. But the two of them? It’d been love at first sight from the moment they met in the emergency room. He’d always been so much more than her doctor, and there was no severing that bond. Even after all this time had passed.
