When Secrets Destroy Love
Driving home at dawn she glimpses the earnest face she married. On the terrace she almost tells him everything. Then she goes inside, and he kneels on the stone where her feet had been. The gesture is devotion she is not allowed to read because she still thinks she is married to a fool who despises her past.
Key Insight
The cruelest secret is not always hidden from the spouse. Sometimes it is the spouse's own courage, withheld because the marriage already taught him that truth would not be received.
