““I knew you’d be staying with your dolphins, and I wasn’t about to leave you here alone with …Alone.” She nodded. Suddenly, to his surprise, she walked up to him, put her arms around him and pressed against him. Instinctively, he embraced her, smoothing back her wet hair. “What is it?” he asked, at a loss. “I do know you, don’t I?” she whispered. “Better than anyone else,” he said. “Alex, what is this?” She pulled away slightly, a strange smile on her lips. “You’re not good husband material, you know.” That hurt. “You were the best wife any man could have,” he told her. “You do love me, in your way, don’t you?” “In my way?” he said, finding it his turn to seek an explanation in her eyes. “In every way,” he said, passion reverberating in his tone, his words vehement. “I swear, I never stopped loving you, Alex. Never. I would die for you in a heartbeat.””
