The years blurred into scraped knees, school projects, bedtime fears, and a quiet, fierce kind of love that never stopped showing up. Ben tried dating again, but eventually accepted that being their dad was enough.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"661\">Nine years later, on New Year\u2019s Eve, there was a knock at the door.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"912\">Nancy stood outside, older and shaken, saying she wanted to see the girls. She claimed she\u2019d panicked, run with a man who promised \u201chelp,\u201d and spent years trapped, unable to contact anyone.
