“I want you here, Raven. There is no one I’d rather have in my bed than you. No one. You may not believe that, but it’s true. From the moment I married you, you’ve had my loyalty right down to my every thought. There’s no one on my mind but you. When I look at you, all I see is my wife. Nothing else. No one else. There’s no space for anyone but you—not in my mind and not in my heart. This may all sound like pretty lies and a poor attempt to console you, and I get that, but, baby, over time you’ll realize that it’s the truth.”
