Chapter 13: The Heir

Savannah’s son was born in early spring.

Grant sent Evelyn a message asking if she wanted to meet the child.

Evelyn replied: Only if the mother agrees and the child is not used as leverage.

The meeting happened in a neutral park. Savannah looked tired. Grant looked smaller. The baby was healthy and had Grant’s eyes.

Evelyn held him for a moment, then handed him back.

“He is not mine,” she said. “But he is innocent. I will not punish him for your choices.”

Grant’s voice was rough. “You could have had this life with me.”

Evelyn looked at him calmly. “I could have. But I would have remained small. I choose not to be small anymore.”

She walked away without looking back.
