Roxanne ran after her niece who already paddled in the soft waves and scooped her up in her arms. Chubby arms folded around Roxanne’s neck. A fragrance of sunscreen and baby lotion fluttered her heart with a new emotion. One day soon, she’d have a similar darling to cuddle. She dropped noisy kisses on the little girl’s cheeks and received moist smooches and giggles in response. Four weeks had already passed since the wedding. Roxanne didn’t regret coming with Greg to Fort Lauderdale. She’d spent many hours working on her laptop and emailing reports and articles to her boss. Madelyn and Nick had returned from their honeymoon two days ago, picked up their daughters in Kentucky, and flown back to Fort Lauderdale the night before. While watching the girls play on the sand, Roxanne had related the whole situation to Madelyn. “Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry you had to go through all this heartache at my wedding.” Madelyn hugged her. “I noticed something was going wrong but I thought you had a stomach bug as you told us the night before.”
