When I first began seeing Daniel, he admitted something during our second date that nearly frightened me away before we even had a chance to become serious. Sitting across from me at the restaurant table, visibly tense and anxious, he confessed that he was a widower with two daughters. Grace was six years old, and Emily was four. Their mother had died three years earlier. He spoke calmly, but beneath his controlled tone, I could hear grief that had never fully healed.
