Chapter 4
Emryn,
I’m sorry.
I meant to be home earlier. I really did, but time slipped away from me. I was working on the list for our vow renewal in between tasks at work—and I’m sorry.
This isn’t me slipping back into old habits. I was sick to my stomach when I finally pulled my head out of the paperwork and realized what time it was.
Right now, I’m writing this note while I watch you sleep in bed with Avery, and I wonder what all I missed out on tonight.
I don’t like that feeling. I don’t want to miss out on nights with our daughter because time is too fleeting with her. She’s getting too big already. And I know I have a lifetime with you, but even that doesn’t seem like enough.
So, here’s my promise—it won’t happen again, not just for you, but for me too.
Love,
Brooks
