Nancy chuckled at his question. It felt as though no one had asked her that for a very long time. “Do I love him? Of course, I do, and I’ve loved him for ten years.”

Despite their divorce, she thought about him, missed him, and loved him every day and night. Her love for him was deep and painful; how could she not love him?
