Chapter 11 - HUSBAND AND WIFE Eleanor saw Julian enter the safe house.

Every emotion she had suppressed returned.

Love.

Rage.

Relief.

Humiliation.

He stopped ten feet away.

“I was wrong.”

She said nothing.

“I failed you.”

Still nothing.

“I failed Leo.”

Her eyes sharpened.

“Yes.”

Julian swallowed.

“I don’t expect forgiveness.”

“Good.”

Leo began crying in the next room.

Both parents turned instinctively.

For one second they moved together.

Then stopped.

Eleanor looked at Julian.

“We save our son.”

“And after?”

“We see whether there’s still a marriage left to save.”
