In the seventh year of my marriage with Gavin Hollis, I went to his company to see him, only to overhear a conversation he was having with someone else. "Seven years with your wife—must be blissful, huh?" Gavin replied indifferently, "What if I told you I never loved her? Would you believe me?" "Come on, you wouldn't stay with her for seven years if you didn't love her. Are you still hung up on Serena? Gavin, she's been abroad for years." "Don't talk nonsense. Serena and I are long over—" There was an inexplicable melancholy in his voice. Serena was Gavin's first love.
