in shape, or had long-ago dreams of being boxers. He also held group classes for both kids and adults. Word of the gym quickly spread, and Dylan had needed to hire George to help with the workload. With business booming, he was able to open up an after-school camp for some of the less fortunate kids who were just like him growing up.
“It’s busy, but good. What about you?”
Regan had decided she would be a stay-at-home mom but was also taking some online classes to further her physical therapy degree.
“It’s good. I just wish your little darling would get her days and nights straightened out. I’m exhausted,” she said with a yawn.
George knocked and poked his head in again. “Mr. Thomas had to cancel. That was the last private lesson for the day.”
“Can you take the two classes tonight?”
George nodded. “Sure, man, no problem.”
“Good. I’m going to take off.”
“Okay. I’ll lock up and talk to you tomorrow.”
The door shut, and Dylan looked at Regan. She sat back in the chair, her eyes almost closed.
“C’mon, honey, let’s get you home. We’ll order in some Chinese, you can take a long soak in the tub, and I’ll get Max down.”
Regan nodded and stood. Dylan tucked her under his arm as they left the gym. With his baby in one arm and the woman he loved in the other, he marveled how things had changed for him. He had Regan, a successful business, and his child was the greatest gift he could ever have received.
He pulled Regan close and kissed the top of her head. “And if you’re a good girl, maybe I’ll give you a full body massage,” he whispered in her ear.
She looked up at him and squeezed his waist, giving him The Look. “That sounds wonderful,” she said with a glint in her eyes.
As Dylan walked to the car with his two girls, he glanced up at the sky, wondering if there was a heaven and if Max looked down on them every now and then. Dylan hoped he did, and knew Max would like what he saw.

Mason Jackson knows his marriage to Bridget is in trouble. He’s been putting in exhausting hours for months to try to make partner in his accounting firm. He knows that it is putting a strain on his marriage, but he has trouble escaping the memory of the poverty of his childhood. He never wants his wife, or the children they yearn for, to know the struggle that he endured when he can provide a better life for them. But things are reaching breaking point; he and Bridget are more like roommates than a married couple. He needs to think of a way to get their marriage back on track and what better way than to make Valentine's Day, Bridget's favorite holiday of the year, a new start for their marriage? Mason puts in place plans for an elaborate evening designed to surprise Bridget.
Bridget is miserable in her marriage, and often longs for the days when they were dirt poor. They may have struggled financially, but at least she had her husband around. Mason is always working, and Bridget feels that he has chosen his work over her. She’s tried to talk to him about the way she feels, but he doesn’t seem to hear her. He just keeps telling her that once he makes partner then everything will be all right. But Bridget is sick of Mason forgetting the things that are important to her … like their anniversary a few months ago. She is at the end of her tether
