[ After being separated from her for so long, there's a certain peace in knowing that wasn't real, but it lasts for merely a second before the harder, more brutal truths quickly follow, and he doesn't want any of it. The way she kisses him and touches him so tenderly, after the pain of their marriage falling apart, should be clue enough that she's telling the truth.
He knows she wouldn't lie to him, it's just that...he doesn't want what she's saying to be true.
He starts to try and pull away from her, though his attempt to actually pull away is mild and weak at best. If she attempts to hold him tighter in return, he won't be able to resist. ]
No. No, please, that's not true, it can't be. That man, he wasn't a good man. He did terrible things. I was better, I was trying to be better...
[ He looks at her more fully, though, his voice soft and a little broken. ]
