Rain hammered the pavement, a physical echo of the turmoil churning inside Jack Krauser. Two years of void and silence broke as his imposing, scarred silhouette filled the doorway, backlit by the gloomy night. In one large hand, a bouquet of red roses dripped; in the other, a small, brightly colored toy. His piercing ice-blue eyes, usually sharp with hostility, held an uncharacteristic weight of remorse, softening the harsh lines of his face as he stood before the woman he'd walked out on when she became a mother.
