Lucy nodded, her gaze filled with empathy and warmth. "Eva's love transcends everything," she replied softly. "I'm grateful to have been a part of it, to carry her memory forward."
As they reached the shelter, Lucy turned to Jude, her eyes searching for reassurance. She leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss against his cheek, a silent affirmation of their shared bond.
"Remember," Lucy whispered, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness, "that I am your wife too. We share everything, even this body."
Jude's heart swelled with gratitude as he absorbed Lucy's words. Despite the complexities of their situation, her unwavering support and understanding filled him with a profound sense of peace.
"Thank you," Jude replied, his voice filled with reverence. "I thank God every day for giving me such an understanding and loving wife."
