Newly divorced Tessa, visiting her sister, sat in their childhood church. When the choir started singing from the loft her face registered recognition. She whispered, “I can hear Michael’s voice. I’ve never stopped hearing it.”
Aggie rolled her eyes.
“Is he home for good?”
“Medical discharge. In a wheelchair, he can do without. Very different.”
“Same beautiful bass.”
Later in the day, Michael approached Aggie’s door. She watched. “I’ll be dipped, he’s walking. You always could bring out the best in him. You sure about this?”
“It’s just dinner.”
“Yeah, right.”
“It’ll be good to be wanted and needed.”

This one is different..but I am not able to understand the whole thing. Tessa divorced him so that she could make him realize his potential? And also make sure he doesn’t take her for granted?

Tessa got divorced from someone else and moved back home. Michael is her high school sweetheart who never married, now a disabled vet.
