"Then what did you mean? What do you want?" I could hear the exasperation in her voice. I didn't like how she was looking at me when she said that, as it made me realize she would go to any lengths to make me happy and I wasn't used to that level of devotion. I always took care of myself and my boys; there wasn't anyone there whose purpose was to just make me happy. It felt odd, because she was doing all this out of love while I wanted us to be separated.
