“You can feel however you want about it,” Noah said. “But Andy and Emmy are my son and daughter, and your sister and brother. That’s the new reality. If you want to be bitter and upset, I suppose you have that right. But if you want to, at the very least, put your angry feelings aside and give those children the love they deserve, then you’re more than welcome.”

She stood up.
“I’ll talk to you when I’m damn good and ready and not a second before.”
She strode out of the room, grabbed her coat from the kitchen, and was gone without another word.
All I could do was cry.
