> I dumped Jason after he cheated. > > A week later, his father showed up. > > Marcus Reid. 40. Composed. Nothing like his son. > > "I came to apologize for him." > > But he didn't stop there. > > He drove me home. Fixed my broken sink. Brought soup when I got sick. > > "Why are you doing this?" > > "At first, guilt." He looked at me. "Now? Something else." > > He's 15 years older. He's my ex's father. This is insane. > > "People will talk." > > "Let them." > > "Your son will hate you." > > "He lost you because he didn't know your worth. I won't make the same mistake." > > He took my hand. > > "I'm not asking you to forget who I am. I'm asking you to see who I could be—for you."
