Chapter 85

• “You’re the most amazing woman, and my wife.”
• Dante said as he kissed his wife, she was everything he wanted and more. He couldn’t believe that she loved him. He hadn’t believed her seven years ago, why he was afraid that she would disappear once she found out who he was. Now she knew exactly who he was and she was still with him, proud to be his wife. How did he get so lucky?
• He looked at the smiling faces surrounding them, every resident of this town was here. They loved his wife and they loved him. He loved them back. Never had he felt the way he felt with this people, like a part of something bigger than him. This people loved him not just because of what he was doing for them, for that, they liked and welcomed him. Their love poured out when they found out that he was not just Earl’s father but that he had married Ugo before putting her in the family way. That had cinched it for them. It was who they were and what they believed, the way they trained their children. Unwed mothers were an oddity among them so he knew how they must have felt when they thought that Ugo, their precious, has disgraced them.
