Back in the car, Alice looked at Roger with a slightly perplexed expression. "Why haven't you asked me about my divorce at all today? I know you must have figured it out."
"It isn't any of my business," he said honestly. He hadn't wanted to prod her into talking about something painful when she didn't want to. "But now that you brought it up…are you doing okay? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I'm struggling to adjust to the sudden lifestyle change," she admitted. "But other than that, I'm fine. Honestly, I should have left my husband sooner. He never cared about me."
Her tone was matter-of-fact but a quick glance at her showed the obvious sadness in her eyes. Alice must have been terribly lonely. She always carried herself so well that he never would have guessed.
"You deserve better than that."
