The world stopped turning. We were suspended in frozen animation. A moment so perfect it couldn’t be real. And I realized then that it was too late. I was in too deep. The time to walk away had ended. I think it was over the moment it began. Wakan and Daniel were planted inside of me and they were growing there, like a garden bursting into life. Roots plunging and anchoring me, vines twisting and flowers pushing from the earth and blooming in my soul, filling me up.
