Declan wrapped his arms around Sage in a secure hug, and gently patted on her back. "It's alright," he said quietly. He was not sure that it was yet, or that he was only upset with her and not with anyone else, but he knew that he would forgive her sooner rather than later. She obviously had not expected this; she had never expected the baby, Maggie, to come back at all.

Tess would know what to do. And he was sure he could forgive her, too.
