This wouldn't hurt so badly if I didn't have to pretend to smile around you. This wouldn't hurt so bad if you weren't so damned honorable. You had a wife, a son, a life to protect. I understand that. I know. But was it worth it? She resents you, for the war, for the affairs, for Draco. And Draco… He's never loved me, never will. And maybe you never loved me. But this past year, that is all that I've done. I've loved you. I would have said anything, given anything, done anything to keep you near me. But you walked away. Walked back to your family. Our family. And you never once asked me what I wanted to do about us.
