While Tristan and Bella had a deep talk upstairs, Sean and Dax continued their conversation in the living room.
Dax summarized all his activities from the last three months, which made Sean feel a mix of emotions, knowing that Bella and Dax's lives were now happier, surrounded by family love.
Sean also noticed that Dax's attitude and manner were very different from when they met a few months ago. He saw Dax smile more often whenever he talked about something.
He was happy to hear Dax's story about his life now. However, his happiness slowly becomes painful when Dax describes Tristan's role and significance in his life.
Even though his chest hurt, Sean tried to remain calm, smiling to avoid worrying or confusing Dax about his reaction.
Witnessing the happiness in Dax's eyes every time he talks about Tristan is enough to remind Sean that he will never replace Tristan in Dax's life. Never!
