But Khair did not need such proof of her husband's love for her. Over and over again,James had risked everything for her. Most relationships in life can survive - or not - without being put to any really crucial, fundamental test.

Each time he chose to remain true to her.That, not the words of any will, was the evidence she could cling onto.
