Ethan grew into a kind young man.
Lily became curious, fearless, and intelligent.
She never forgot the birthday cake.
The cake that had started everything.
One evening, she asked Dominic:
“Do you remember when I broke your son's birthday cake?”
Dominic laughed.
“I remember.”
“You were angry.”
“I was terrified.”
“Why?”
“Because I almost lost Ethan.”
Lily smiled.
“But you didn't.”
“No.”
Dominic looked at her.
“Because you saved him.”
She smiled.
Then Ethan walked into the room.
“Are you two talking about the cake again?”
Lily laughed.
“Yes.”
Ethan shook his head.
“I've heard that story a hundred times.”
Dominic smiled.
“You should be grateful.”
“I am.”
Ethan looked at Lily.
“She saved my life.”
Lily shrugged.
