At our next family dinner, Ryan’s father spoke with gentle honesty. He said it’s easy to forget how much encouragement matters — especially within a family. His words hung in the air, and for the first time, Ryan seemed to really see what had been happening. There was no argument, no defensiveness — just quiet reflection.

I cook again because it makes me happy, not to prove anything. For the first time, it feels like we’re both sitting at the same table — not just as husband and wife, but as partners who finally understand what it means to protect the peace we’ve built together.
