"What if Lorna wasn't wrong, Luke?" Felicia fretted. "What if she sensed something I'd never admitted, not even to myself? Was I — a part of me, anyway — was I... relieved... when I thought I'd lost her?"
"No," he said with utter conviction. "Your mourning, that was no act."
"I did mourn. I did. I mourned her, and you, and what we had, and what we could have been. But, at the same time, I was a kid. I had dreams. I wanted more than the life I had, certainly more than the life my mother had had. I wanted to be somebody. That couldn't have happened with a baby to take care of. Not then. There is no way I would or could have become Felicia Gallant, if I'd had a child to take care of, too."
"You underestimate yourself. I've got no doubt you'd have figured out a way to become the woman you were meant to be and a mother to our daughter. If anything, she'd have been another reason for you not to settle, to make a better life for yourself. Our little girl would've been your partner in crime; co-pilot, muse and inspiration all rolled into one."
"Or she'd have been the Veda to my Mildred Pierce." ***
