The girls transitioned into this new normal better than they did, and it was perfect. One night, Sophie said something that shocked Henry. “Dad, why don’t you marry Wendy? Then she could be my mom too.” “Oh honey, that’s complicated. Wendy and I are just good friends,” he responded. “I’ll never forget my mom. But I like her. I think she could be good for you too,” Sophie insisted. Henry smiled. “We’ll see.” But it was like his daughter predicted the future. Eventually, he and Wendy started dating. They got married when the girls turned 12, and they were both bridesmaids.
