Chapter 52: WHO TO BELIEVE: MAGGIE
Noah knew me well enough to give me space. He waited an hour before he came to the bedroom and slowly opened the door. Stepping inside he stood at a distance and ran his hands through his hair. "I'm sorry Maggie. Today is the day I've waited almost five long years for. I didn't handle the way I told you very well downstairs."
When I didn't reply he walked over to the bed and sat on the edge facing me. He placed his hand on my hip and rubbed gently on my thigh.
"I love Molly like she's mine. She already feels like she's carved from me. Rudi needs to have the same opportunity. Obviously, I felt devastated when the judge put the condition on Molly, but I could see his reasoning. Deep down I think you do too, but you're right to challenge me the way you did. I wouldn't expect any less. It tells me that no matter what I say, you will insist I do the right thing for our kids. You ground me and its part of the reason you hold my heart in your hands."
