Julian’s immense guilt
Julian feels enormous remorse and sadness now that he knows the truth. ‘I was so wrong,’ he said, his voice cracking. The enormity of what he had missed overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. He abandoned his family due to a misunderstanding, leaving Elara to bear the burden alone. ‘I am sorry,’ he gasped out. Elara looked at him, and Julian saw a gleam of hope in her eyes for the first time in ten years.

Acknowledging Elara’s bravery
Julian recognizes Elara’s fortitude and the sacrifices she made while parenting the children alone. ‘You did an amazing job,’ he remarked, his enthusiasm clear. Elara reddened, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders. ‘I did what needed to be done,’ she said softly. Julian felt a renewed respect for her. ‘I want to be there for them now,’ he declared genuinely. Elara nodded, her heart melting from his earnest words.
