After his death, she lived with that guilt, a guilt tied to memories of a man who had done everything he could to make her happy.

"Valerie, I need to ask you something important," said Dr. Hill after a few moments.
"Yes... Go ahead." "What does Marcus mean to you?" "Why are you askingthat?" "You've already toldabout Maximus as the father of your daughter and your former love. You've shared your thoughts and feelings about Peter. But what about Marcus? What's going on with him?" "Marcus cinto my life when I least expected it. Honestly, if someone had toldback then that he'd be the man I'd spend the rest of my life with, I would've thought it was a joke." "Why do you say that?"

"I never heard you say you're happy. Did I?" When I met him, I wasn't ready for anyone. What we have how happened little by little. I even know he was dating other women before I cinto his life." "Have you ever asked him if he's happy with you?" Valerie was silent for a moment before saying, "No... But...
Valerie, I'm here to help you, to guide you to find answers to your questions. When I ask, it's based on what you tell me. And in this case, I'm asking because I see a pattern of self-sabotage in you.
"No, that's not true!" "What isn't?" "What you're saying about sabotaging thyself..." "Are you completely sure about that?" "Yes..." Valerie answered, uncertain.
