Summary
Francesca loved John. He was kind. He understood her silence, never thinking less of her for it. She loved him.
She reminded herself of this when he kissed her. When he touched her. When he moved inside her. She loved him.
She sometimes heard her mother's voice in her head. Saw her disapproving face.
"I just want you to have what your father and I had, Francesca. I want you to be in love."
She felt like a child being scolded for failing a test she had studied for. Love was an abstraction. Something people pointed to and expected her to believe in without evidence. She was not fickle. She didn't lean on subjectivity that bore no witness. She demonstrated her love. She was supportive. She gave of herself—her body, her time. She was devoted.
And yet, it counted for nothing.
Still, she was wrong.
