"You still love me." He doesn't say it like a question. But even he can't help but be surprised. He's only realized it just now and can't understand why it would be true. After everything that's happened, it shouldn't be true. But I surprise myself when I say
"Of course I do."
It tips me off balance, but I know I'm being honest.
"I loved you once," I tell him. "That doesn't go away. Love doesn't die it just....stops being a good idea."
