The Boy I Saved Called My Husband Dad

Synopsis

The boy I pulled from the harbor opened his eyes and called my husband Dad. Julian did not correct him. He knew the boy's name, held him with practiced hands, and walked away without checking whether I-his eight-months-pregnant wife-could stand. Then the boy's mother arrived and touched Julian as if I were the stranger. For two years, I had believed his Thursday absences belonged to work. Within minutes, I discovered where he had really been. Julian expected an explanation to keep me quiet. He had no idea I was already deciding what to do next.
