Realizing this, their tension melted away, replaced by curiosity. Their eyes flickered with intrigue, eager to hear more.
"It's about relationships," Brian continued. "From what I've heard, you're all happily married. Ronald tellsyour families are thriving, so I thought I'd ask for your insight." At the mention of relationship troubles, their excitement grew. One of the older women leaned in slightly. "Of course, Mr. White. Ask us anything-we'll do our best to help."

The room grew still before another woman answered, "She's been hurt too many times, hurt so deeply that she's lost all hope. She's forcing herself to move on, to stop loving you. And when a woman reaches the point where she no longer cares... it means she no longer loves you."
A sharp pang twisted in Brian's chest.
