I lowered my head, trying to shrink into invisibility, when my mom said suddenly, "Elizabeth just divorced her ex-husband. You know that, right? If that bothers you, we don't need to pursue this any further."

I snapped my head up and locked eyes with him.
His gaze was filled with remorse, affection, and tenderness.
My heart skipped a beat. The emotions I thought I had buried began to stir again.
