Chapter 177
Aaron reluctantly peeled himself off me and pressed the yellow button on the panel. The elevator
resumed its descent. “Yes, earlier today,” he admitted almost guardedly. Just like every time he talked
about Richard.
I knew Aaron hadn’t let go of part of the guilt he carried around, but father and son hade a long
way. And they both knew Richard didn’t have much time. This past year had already been a gift.
“He and Martha should be getting to the house in a few hours.”
Martha, his caregiver, was another gift sent straight from heaven. She was amazing to Richard and
always kept us updated. We trusted her fully, and having her constant support andpany not only
reassured Aaron and me, but also soothed Richard.
“I’ll check on them again while we wait for your family at the airport.”
The elevator doors opened in front of us, and we stepped out at the same time.
“Everything will be all right, amor,” I told him, breaking my rules and reaching for his hand in the middle
of the lobby. “Your dad will make it to Montauk safely, and he is going to love everyone. Just how
everyone will love him.”
Breaking his own rules too, he brought my hand to his mouth, his lips brushing the backs of my fingers.
“I know, baby,” he whispered just for me. “Everything will always be okay, no matter what. You know
why?”
We stepped out of the building, right into one of New York’s overwhelming summer days.
“Why?”
“Because it’s you and me.” He smiled down at me then, meeting my gaze with the conviction his words
held. Just as he held my heart in his hands. My love. My whole world. Confidently andpletely. “And
no matter whates our way, we have each other.” That Aaron smile, which was just for me and
never failed to make my heart skip a beat, widened. “We are in this together, for the long run.”
