What He Knows (3)
Thousands of questions swam in Angela's head, begging to be asked. For many years, the three of them fell on some sort of routine and blandness. Most of the time, they only did the bare minimum as a family. The spark that they once had while Cynthia was still in the picture was no longer there.

"Did she love you?" she asked after a few beats of silence.
Charlie took a deep breath, taking the glass of water in his hand instead of asking for a mimosa refill. He was always conscious of his diet, only drinking occasionally. "I believe she did. I know I do."
Angela took note of the tense her father used. He still loved his ex-wife even after all that happened.
