Bree, I did love Frank. I loved the father he was to you. My love for him was a different sort of love than what I have with Jamie.
[ But she shows her now, the gold wedding band still on her finger. ]
There is a reason I've never taken this off. They're different reasons than why I've never taken off Jamie's ring. But they matter the same. And you never, ever, have to feel badly about loving the man who raised you with as much as your heart is capable of. It's what Jamie wanted, knowing he couldn't be there to do it himself. Frank was a good man, and there are things I will always love him for.
