Morelli may be kicking himself right now, but Steph and I are just kicking back, enjoying our current life. Our daughter seems to be thriving despite our lack of parenting experience. Just from being born, she's brought me and Julie closer, made Stephanie a stronger woman, and has me vowing to be better at everything I do.
"Why are you frowning?" Steph asked.
"I don't frown, Babe."
"You don't smile either, but I can always tell when you're amused. What are you thinking about?"
"Morelli ... and how he wanted what we now have."
She nodded. "You would frown about that. You know there's never going to be anything between Joe and I again, right?"
"Yes."
I won't give her a reason to consider him an option. Our eyes dropped down to where Olivia was eating. I picked up the bare foot that's only slightly bigger than my thumb, and slid my finger along it until Olivia's five tiny toes splayed wide in reaction. If Joe tries to insert himself into my family, I will remove him ... in bits and pieces if necessary.
