The Return of Her First Love
"You're jealous, aren't you? I told you—nothing happened between me and Rick! Yes, he was my first love, but I'm your wife now. I only love you."
She started sobbing again. But to me, it all sounded ridiculous.
When I didn't respond, she shifted to self-reflection. "I—I know I shouldn't have brought up your parents that day. I was just so upset, honey. Please forgive me. We've been together for so many years—can you really just throw it all away?"
She kept apologizing, begging for my forgiveness.
In the past, even the slightest concession from her would've made me cave instantly. But now, I felt nothing.
