But having worked closely with him she knew he worked hard and didn’t feel threatened by his long absences, but it was during this time she came to the conclusion he was never going to fall in love with her. Deep inside she believed him to still have feelings for his ex-wife, but that didn’t change her feeling for him. She loved him and often told him although he did not return the term of affection; he would frequently tell her she was beautiful and desirable. Max was attentive to her every need and comfort, even in the short weeks before they were married he set up an account for her telling her she was to use it and not buy the cheapest things in the store. He encouraged her to buy the best of everything for herself and their child. Every night he was home he would rub her legs and body, massage oil into her stomach and whisper softly to his unborn child. Max had been away for a week he rang from the airport to let her know he was on his way. ‘I’ve missed you,’ he said, his voice a soft whisper.
