At first I thought he looked tired. The last few days had been overwhelming for both of us.
But then I noticed something strange.
He stayed near the door.
He didn’t come closer.
He didn’t look at the babies.
His face was pale, and his hands were shaking.
“Jack?” I said softly, patting the chair beside my bed. “Come sit. Look at them.”
He glanced toward the bassinets for barely a second.
“Yeah… they’re beautiful.”
His voice sounded hollow.
