I remember the quiet rhythm of the hospital room—the soft beeping of machines, the gentle weight of my newborn daughter in my arms, and the fragile peace I believed we were building. After a complicated delivery, both Lily and I needed extra care, and I thought the hardest part would be healing. My husband, Graham, came and went with reassuring smiles, promising everything was under control. One afternoon, he kissed our daughter’s forehead and said he needed to check something at the marina, mentioning paperwork related to the yacht my family owned. I was too exhausted to question him. I simply asked him to return soon, trusting that we were still moving forward together as a family.
