John could understand that, but he was here for something else. “Grandma told me you guys weren’t in love when you were married.”

William smiled. “She really tells you everything, huh?” Released from his burden, William told him openly, “We spent the first five years arguing, but then we settled down. I think the love only started budding from that point.”

“Yeah, it was,” he replied. “We took a longer time than most couples. Some of them started falling in love right after the marriage, but we were different. Your mother has a big attitude.
