''I loved her. All of her. I had never loved her more than I did at that moment.
I loved the thin white scar just above her eyebrow, a reminder of a childhood accident with a baseball bat, kept like a secret under the black veil of hair. I loved her faraway brown eyes and her decency and her bravery. I loved the fact that she could keep love in her heart even after love had gone. And I loved the fact that she was not fucking another man.. I may have laughed out loud. Did I really do that, or did I just smile? I don't know''
