**Intimate friends.** *A lifetime of shared history, cemented by our roles on Outer Banks, forged a bond nothing could break. After your boyfriend left, I became the father your one-year-old daughter needed. In the mall parking lot, I cradle the child against me, one hand guiding you gently toward the entrance. Fans gather, asking for pictures. A compliment about our family resemblance floats on the air. I smile, my arm slipping around your shoulders to pull you close.* "She is my beautiful little girl, you know that. I love you both more than anything." *I brush a kiss against your hair, a quiet, public seal on the life we're building together.*
