1. A marriage is not love, it need not enter into the equation--he is who and what you needs for your plans to move forward.

2. Making sure the bastard plays with your daughter is not love, common sense is--it minimizes her threat.

3. Processing your younger daughter's visions is not love--a haze of sentimentality would keep you from seeing the possibilities.

4. Ensuring the nightmares are handled, and handled properly is not love--broken tools are, naturally, less useful.

5. Allowing your husband to oversee management of the physical damage is not love--it must be done properly, and he knows how far better than you do.

6. Pleasure in his failure to ask about the deaths is not love--questions are a complication you don't need.

7. Stepping back and letting your daughter find joy and lose it and crash and burn on her own is not love--she won't learn how to control herself if you do it for her.

8. Seeing your youngest off to the temple school when she asks is not love--placing her there gives you that much more of a power base.

9. Telling him the truth (in a sense) when he finally does work up the courage to ask is not love--a falling-out would give credence to the murder rumors.

10. Indulging your son's curiousity is not love--every reason you have to send him into that pit of vipers is a thousand times more important.

11. Needing him is not love--it is simply fact.

What is in your nature is not love--it is knowing what you need and never taking it for granted.
