Once in a Lifetime
“..." Their eyes met and held, and suddenly Justin Wakefield no longer seemed real. He seemed part of a distant dream. It was Matthew who seemed real now as he stood before her.
And suddenly in spite of all the promises he'd made himself, Matthew looked at her with searching eyes, and had to ask. "There's someone important in your life out there, Daphne, isn't there?" She hesitated as he felt his heart pound and then, slowly she nodded.
"Yes. There is." A little child in him wanted to cr...y, but nothing showed in his eyes except concern for her. "I'm glad for you. You needed that." "I guess I did." But she wanted to tell him then about her concerns about Justin and Andrew. What if Justin couldn't accept a nonhearing child? But she was afraid to ask. Somehow it seemed out of place to ask him. And then she looked into Matthew's eyes again. "It doesn't change anything here, Matt." He wondered what that meant, but only nodded and opened the door to the little sitting room he had inherited from Mrs.MoreLess
