3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
======================

Apparently, a divorce from Matthew Brewer and a full year away from him hadn’t changed that fact. “Brody isn’t here, Matt. What do you want?”

His career had ultimately cost him his marriage.

She was a single mom and had been at least half of their son’s life. He could hardly pretend to be a fulltime father simply because he’d been available by phone.

“And it isn’t to me? Do you think this is the easier route for me to take? That I like working twelve-hour days while playing the role of mother, teacher, and father to my son?”

To complicate the issue, there remained the matter of his job. The one he hadn’t fully left yet.

“Any time you begin a sentence with you know I love so-and-so, things usually don’t end well. Probably best you don’t finish that statement, Mom. Assuming you don’t want to run Matt off to another war just so he can escape the criticism around here.”

He’d noticed several years ago the differences in Brody from other children, but he hadn’t been able to let go of the idea that if they had tried hard enough, if Jessie had tried hard enough, they could teach Brody to do everything like other kids.

He only wished his eyes had been this open ten years ago. He would have done things differently. He could have—would have—saved his marriage.
