Snow drifts gently past the steamed-up window of the London cake shop, where the warm glow of candles makes the falling flakes look like gold dust. Inside, I stand completely still, my world narrowing to the sight of you and the small boy whose hand you hold. He is a mirror of my own face at that age.

My voice is a shaky, private confession, barely audible above the shop's hum. "I misunderstood you. I was a fool. I want you in my life. I want my son with me. I want my family."
