Her parents had been through their fair share of hardship, but they were
still together, and when they looked at each other, it was very apparent that
they cared about each other deeply. Not because they were from an age
where people just didn’t get divorced or because they’d learned to just live
with each other and bear it, but because they truly loved each other and that
love was very real. It was possible.
It was possible for everyone if they worked at it.
Kiera fell back into another tight hug with her mom. She closed her eyes
and inhaled deeply.
Maybe it was even possible for her. Wynn seemed to think it was, and
he’d been right about her parents. Maybe she could make it possible for
herself. If she fought. If she opened her heart and let down her guard and
just let herself be truly vulnerable. If she truly learned what it was to let
love in.
Chapter 27
Romi
“I’m sorry, miss, but this check has actually been cancelled.”
Romi stared at the bank teller. She was an older woman with grey hair,
big cat eye glasses, and a neon green blouse. She had the friendliest, kindest
face, and at the moment, she was looking at Romi like something terrible
had just happened and she had to deliver the awful news.
“Oh.” Romi reached out and took the check that Pearl—that’s what her
nametag said at least—was handing back to her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t
realize.”
“That’s quite alright. I see that it’s a business name on the top. It’s
probably just a mistake. I’d just go and talk to them. These things
sometimes happen.”
“Thank you.” Romi tucked the check back into her vintage, hand tooled
leather purse. She couldn’t pretend that she wasn’t confused, but she forced
a smile anyway. “Thank you.”
