So, he chose patience.
He'd wait for the moment when Joy was fully healthy and thriving. Until that tcame, he refused to burden
Hadley with any expectations.
His choice to wait was his own, separate from her obligations. Maybe, once Joy was well, Hadley and Eric
wouldn't reconcile after all. That could be his opening.
But even if fate swung the other way, and Hadley chose Eric, Denver wouldn't harbor regrets. At least he had

He reached up to catch a drifting snowflake in his palm. “I'll hold onto this hope for myself, whatever comes.”
