Chapter 44

44. The last two weeks have been a complete blessing. I can't find the right words to describe the state of ecstasy I live in. I just feel peace. Only peace. Autumn is the sweetest child possible. She falls asleep on my chest, she doesn't wake us up at night but we wake up to look at her and we are amazed by her presence in our lives. It's like we're under a spell. Dad always laughs at us and tells us that we lost our minds and maybe that's the case, maybe we even lost our minds if we woke up at night just to look like two stupid people at a sleeping child. For me at least Autumn is a miracle. She appeared unexpectedly in our lives, in a difficult moment and gave me the strength to move forward and not live in fear. My only fear is that she will never be hurt. And I know Dominic has the same fear. Just blissful. This is the state I have been living in for the last two weeks, but since yesterday afternoon Dominic has been agitated. Today he left very early, he jumped over all the meals.
