Sophie's Path (28 page)

A nightmare-induced shriek, Daniel's by the sound of it, made Rebecca murmur and twine a hand in Aiden's hair, her body snuggled so tightly against him he couldn't breathe. He stood and gently laid her on the futon, savoring this quiet moment before dealing with Connor's Xbox defiance and whatever other family crisis-of-the-moment waited—the worst of which would come tomorrow morning at the hearing.

For this moment at least, he'd be selfish. It felt good to imagine what life with a woman like Rebecca would have been like, before reality's undertow sucked him under.
