Ryan's POV
When Vivian had come back from the hospital, she had been hurting, as was to be expected. But the two of them had dealt with her pain together, and Ryan had truly felt that they were growing stronger as a result of that.

At first, Ryan had thought the man's passing would not be too much of a problem. That he'd helped Vivian through that hurdle when he'd helped her get over feeling happy that her ex was dead. But that was not the case.
He had no idea what had gone wrong or how it had gone wrong, but overnight a giant chasm had appeared between the two of them, and he had no clue how to fix it.

'How about we go for a walk?'
'I walked a lot today with the kids,'
