My eyes welled with tears and I held him even closer. “Remember when…you told Papa Roi that you loved me? Did you really mean it?”

My husband became so silent I could hear the rapid beating of our hearts as they pressed together. Finally he replied, almost incredulously, “Do you doubt it? I love you sincerely, Antoinette. And,” he added, our faces nearly touching, “I respect you even more.”  He stroked my face so tenderly that I nearly bathed his hand with tears.
