"You really do love her, don't you?" Minerva whispered softly.
Severus was confused. Minerva's voice had been so calm and collected before. It still was, but it had taken on an edge. "Of couse, I love her. She's my wife."
Minerva sighed. "I have business to do. Please, unless there is something else I can help you with, leave. I'm sorry I couldn't help her," she added genuinely.
"You tried. It's not your fault she wouldn't tell the truth."
"Well, she did tell the truth," Minerva qualified, "just not the whole truth."
Severus nodded. "Goodbye."
"Good night," Minvera dismissed him.
He left Minerva alone in her office.
