Gavin was completely dazed.
He stared in shock at the woman he thought he knew—now crying uncontrollably, her face twisted in anger. Selena was nothing like the soft, gentle person he'd known. Her face was smeared with tears and smeared makeup, her usual warmth nowhere in sight.
He'd never seen Selena like this.
To him, she had always been calm, poised, and kind. She'd been his steady, kind-hearted wife, always supportive.
He looked at her in disbelief. "Selena… did you ever love me?"
Selena's sobs paused, and she looked up at him. For a moment, her expression was one of surprise, but then it turned to scorn. "Really, Gavin? At a time like this, with everything going on, that's what you want to know?"
But Gavin's gaze stayed firm. "Yes, I want to know. Did you ever love me? Or was it just because I'm a Cobb?"
