Nic's p.o.v

Before today, I never knew about Conrad's former past life. Who knew Conrad had a teenage

daughter? Conrad denied knowing Alexandria for my sake. I overlooked and dismissed the

fact that Alexandria had his pretty brown eyes. I doubted Alexandria until she showed me

pictures that stretched way back to her childhood. These same pictures restored and refreshed

Conrad's memory bank. He remembered Alex was born on September 11, 2001. He was twenty

years old and married to his highschool sweetheart Joyce at the time. He left Joy and Alex for

medical school eight years later. Telling the truth unburdened and liberated Conrad. I saw him

in a new different light. Alex joined Conrad and me for the long drive to the hospital. "My name is

Nicolette. You can call me Nic. I am your dad's fiancee" I reintroduced myself to Alex.
