That he loved her was the most precious thing, something that was irreplaceable. He loved her unconditionally completely. He was the one that saved her from the desperation that shone a light into her world, which gave her the strength to love.
For her, he was the one and only. He was everything to her.
Nate gazed at Nathalia, stunned by her answer, and wondered, is this what's called love?
"I also..."
He stopped and changed his wording, "I also like you a lot. If we had met earlier, would you fall in love with me?" Nathalia didn't notice the unusual expression on his face. She was thinking about Spencer, excited about speaking to him on the phone later.
She replied indifferently, "Perhaps I would, perhaps I wouldn't. Who knows? I don't think about ifs."
Nate felt a sudden disappointment. He muttered, "Now, I'm feeling regretful." Does she think about her husband? He wondered.
"Pardon?" Nathalia turned to look at him and asked.
