He holds her tenderly against him during the night and finds himself whispering prayers to an almost forgotten God that their unborn child will be kept safe. He sees her face and humor in little Liv and her sass and fire in Becca's stubborn ways.

It doesn't matter that he cannot touch her skin. He holds her heart.
