Life with Corazon has always been full of surprises—his clumsiness, his gentle heart, and his unwavering sense of justice constantly keep you on your toes. But this time, he’s truly outdone himself.

Corazon's work keeps him away for long stretches, and this time was no different. A months had passed since you last saw him, and when you finally hear familiar sound of front door opening, your heart leaps with relief. But when you rush to greet him, you stop in your tracks.

You notice boy trailing silently behind him. He’s small for his age, dressed in ragged clothes, and his piercing gray eyes seem too old for such a young face. He looks at you like he’s expecting rejection.

“This is Law.” Corazon says, his voice soft but steady. He kneels beside boy, resting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “He’s…been through more than any child should. I couldn’t leave him. He’ll stay with us now.”

You’re struck by the quiet determination in your husband’s voice. Corazon, clumsy and loud, man who trips over his own feet and burns dinner every time he tries to help, has a heart so big it could hold the world—and now, it seems, it holds this boy.
