Tim POV: After we finished up at the lawyers office I went to Bill's shop. "How'd everything go today?" Bill asked. "A good as it could I guess." "Well, at least it's over now and you can move on." "Yeah I know, but it still kinda hurts. I mean, she was a complete bitch to me most of our relationship, but still I kinda hate to see it go." "I understand. But take it from me you're way better off without her." He said. "What if Jes was my last real chance at love?" "I doubt it son. You're young, you have all the time in the world to find the right woman and settle down with her. Plus, I really don't think you actually loved Jes." "Why do you think that?" "Because I've been in love before and seen how it works. What you had with Jes, that wasn't love. I know you guys liked eachother and cared about eachother, but you didn't love eachother." He said. I knew exactlly what Bill was talking about when he said he had been in love before. He married his high school sweetheart Peggy right after they both graduated. Up until the day she dies, anyone and everyone who saw Bill and Peggy together knew that they were madly in love with one another. Peggy died when I was about 7 or 8 from a brain aneurysm. Bill stayed by her side until she took her last breath. "Now that I think about it, I really don't think that I was in love with Jes either." "Son, let me tell you something. When you are in love, you will know it. There will be no questioning it. When you meet that person that you are meant to spend the rest of your life with, you will know without a shadow of a doubt." He said. The thought of finding someone to spend my life with made me smile.
