“Of course,” Martin replied. “I understand.”
Accompanied by the police officer, the director walked to the front door and spoke to the couple. The woman began to cry, then fell into her husband’s arms. The director motioned to Martin and Claire to join her as Melanie’s foster parents stepped inside their home and closed the door.
“Melanie, honey,” the director said. “I have a surprise for you.”
The little girl looked up, spoke quietly. “A surprise?”
“Yes, my dear. A wonderful, joyous surprise.” She nodded at Martin, then stepped aside.
Martin knelt down in front of his daughter, took her tiny hand in his.
“Remember me, Mellie?” Martin said as he choked back his tears. “It’s me. It’s Daddy.”
Melanie’s eyes welled up. A tear trickled down her face. Martin wiped it away.
“Daddy?” Melanie said.
“Yes, baby?”
The little girl cried. “Mommy’s dead.”
“I know, honey.”
“Are you going to die on me too?”
Martin’s voice broke. “No, Mellie,” he replied. “Daddy’s not going to die, baby. Not for a very, very long time.”
Melanie sniffled, looked up at her father.
“Daddy?”
“Yes, sweetheart?”
“I want to go home.”
Martin choked back his tears. He picked up his daughter, held her tight. “Me too, honey,” he said. “Me too.”

On the Author-Reader Relationship
Getting to know my readers and building strong relationships with them is one of the best parts of being a writer. I put a great deal of effort into creating my books. My goal with every novel I write is to make it better than the last, earn your five-star review, and make your reading experience the best it can be.
I’d love to know what you thought of this book (or boxset). What did you like about it? Who was your favorite character? Did I keep you wanting to know what was going to happen next? What do you want to see in an upcoming novel?
Please subscribe to my monthly newsletter. I’ll send you a free Jordan Quest bonus book, Jordan Quest: Behind the Badge, and keep you up to date on forthcoming new releases and special offers.
Please Post a Review
May I ask for your honest opinion. Did you like this book?
Reviews are the lifeblood to my work as a novelist. They mean the world to me. Long and fancy isn’t necessary. What matters is your honest opinion. Did you enjoy this book? Did I deliver a good story to you? Rate it five stars and say a few words about what you most enjoyed about it. Or choose another rating. Your feedback is what matters. It’s what makes me a better writer. And the better I can get at writing my books the better the reading experience I’ll be able to provide to you.
Why your review is so important
I am a relatively new writer. I don’t have a huge marketing machine or advertising department behind me like mainstream authors do to help build a buzz around my books and get them out in front of millions of readers.
But I do have you.
I am very grateful to have a growing following of loyal, committed readers who take the time to let me know what they think of my books. If you liked this book (or boxset) I would be extremely grateful if you would take a few seconds to post a review. It can be as long or short as you like. All reviews are appreciated and helpful to me.
Thank you!
Gary
This book is dedicated to my beautiful wife, Fiona.
I’m lucky to have you in my life and in my corner.
