Chapter 25 - My brothers

People loved the dramatic version.
Three CEO brothers storm in.
One kicks abusive husband.
Family rescued.
Reality afterward was less cinematic.
Caleb attended prenatal appointments when he could.
Mason learned how to install an infant car seat and nearly declared war on the instruction manual.
Grant stocked my freezer with forty-seven meals.
None labeled.
One turned out to be chili at 7 a.m.
They were ridiculous.
They also never once told me:
“We warned you about Ryan.”

That mattered.
I had enough shame without family adding to it.
