When Edward Sterling got down on one knee to propose, I looked him in the eyes and asked, "Is this just gratitude, or do you really love me?" He met my gaze, unwavering. "I love you. You're the light in my darkest days," he said. But then Vivian Lane, the one he never got over, returned to the country. I overheard his conversation with his friends. "Now that Vivian's back, you act like you never got over her," one of them said. Edward snapped, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm married." Another chimed in, "All you feel for Claire is gratitude for her being there. That's it. That's just duty." "Can you really love her the way she wants?" "She's so devoted. She's been into you since high school. After your accident, she even quit her job to be there for you during rehab." "You're really something, man. You went as far as marrying her just to repay her." I expected Edward to deny it. But he just stayed silent.
