“This is your night and you love this organization. I don’t want her to steal our joy. All I know is that I’m going to be here for you and if we happen to see her we just ignore her. We’re together now. That’s all that matters.”

“Okay, my love.” He leaned over the console and kissed my cheek. “Tonight is about.”
