Chapter 13 - At Twelve, Rosie Asked Me Why I Never Married Again—And I Finally Admitted That I Had Never Stopped Loving Her MotherRosie sat with me in the garden.

“Dad?”

“Yes?”

“Why don't you have a girlfriend?”

I laughed.

“That's a strange question.”

She shrugged.

“Everybody asks.”

I looked at her.

“I loved your mother.”

“She died.”

“I know.”

“Do you still love her?”

“Yes.”

She nodded.

“Good.”

“Why?”

“Because she loved you.”

I smiled.

“That's true.”

Rosie looked toward the estate.

“Do you think she would like how we live now?”

I looked around.

Children playing.

Families safe.

People laughing.

“No.”

Rosie frowned.

“No?”

“She'd want it to be louder.”

May you like

Rosie laughed.

“Probably.”
