From the moment he met Jill, their connection felt effortless and real. Just one month into their relationship, she became pregnant. Although the timing raised quiet doubts in his mind, he chose to believe the baby was his because he desperately wanted to become the kind of father he never had growing up. He proposed, they married, and for eight years they built what seemed like a happy, loving family centered around their daughter, who became the greatest joy in his life.
