It was nice to at least believe that her husband had been faithful. If this was false, no one knew of it. Certainly Naomi did not know of such things. Theirs had always seemed like such a loving relationship.

Martin seemed quite decent, though she was unsure if she would truly love him. Perhaps he would not truly love her. But as long as it was a suitable match, why did it matter now? She had love, had experienced it. Settling for a good match now was fine for her.

Hesitating, she decided to give a suggestion in a more hushed tone. "Well, once the mouring period has passed, perhaps finding a suitable match would help? It might not be the same, but having that security, and the company, can be rather comforting." She did not wish to offend, and she certainly hoped she hadn't.
