Ghislaine Maxwell was not at all Epstein’s type. They had shared interests, but I would not call that love, anymore than a dominatrix falls in love with the sub that hires her for an hour of play.
The thought has crossed my mind that maybe she was one of his first victims and she would do anything he asked in order to feel what she perceived as love. In most of their pics together, she was looking at him adoringly while he had his arm draped around her neck as to say this one is mine so don’t touch. He loved no one but himself while using her love for him to his advantage
My assumption is that they loved each other like best friends. Not sure if they ever had sex with each other, but they were obviously companions the way best or close friends are, so my guess is that there was some sort of love there.
Nobody’s positive, unless they actually ask her, and he’s not here to ask any more.
