Oh, God, Francesca,Now theres a good one.Why?Why? Why? He gave each one a different tenor, as if he were testing out the word, asking it todifferent people.Why? he asked again, this time with increased volumeas he turned around to face her.Why? Itsbecause I love you, damn me to hell. Because Ive always loved you. Because I loved you when youwere with John, and I loved you when I was in India, and God only knows I dont deserve you, but Ilove you, anyway.Francesca sagged against the door.Hows that for a witty little joke? he mocked. I loveyou. I loveyou, my cousins wife. I loveyou, theone woman I can never have. I loveyou, Francesca Bridger-ton Stirling.
