The only one in my heart and on my mind...
She echoed his words in her heart, suddenly feeling deflated, "I can't do that."
If it were the old her, faced with someone she liked, who liked her back, she would have joyfully given herself to them. But now, she was scared...
She had been through a divorce and was deeply wounded. How could she dare to make the same mistake again?
Enoch looked at her, suddenly reminded of Harlan and of their marriage.
Remembering how she spoke of Harlan with such disdain.
Curiously, he asked, "Did you love him when you were married to Harlan?"
Drusilla's face darkened. "Can you not ask something so disgusting? Enoch, I just had lunch. You surely don't want me to throw up, do you?"
"Did you love him?" Enoch persisted.
"I'm out of here!" Drusilla stood up, ready to leave, but Enoch grabbed her arm, pulling her back into an embrace, asking, "You still love him, don't you?"
Drusilla felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears threatening to fall, "No."
