<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I tried to reunite my husband with the woman he once loved\u2014behind his back. I thought it was selfless. Simple. But it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Marriage, for most, is about love. For me, it was comfort\u2014a way to quiet questions. Hunter and I weren\u2019t lovers, just peaceful partners. No passion, but no pain either. It worked\u2026 until it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Lately, Hunter grew distant. I confided in my friend Kieran, who suggested the unthinkable: maybe Hunter was in love with someone else.<\/p>\n
So I followed him. He met a woman at a caf\u00e9. No cheating, but I could see the truth in his eyes\u2014he still loved her. Her name was Alison, his first love.<\/p>\n
At home, I asked for a divorce. He resisted, but I knew what he wanted. Alison was leaving for Europe. I decided to help.<\/p>\n
Kieran drove me to the airport. I found Alison just before she boarded. I told her the truth\u2014Hunter still loved her. She hesitated, then left with me.<\/p>\n
We brought her back. Hunter saw her, and their connection was undeniable.<\/p>\n
As I sat in the car, Kieran turned to me. \u201cAre you really okay with this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI never loved him that way,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I can change that,\u201d he replied, gently taking my hand.<\/p>\n
Hunter thanked me. \u201cI hope you find love too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I already have,\u201d I whispered, glancing at Kieran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
