The Joys of Correcting

Say what the original sentence could have been, and explain the circumstances of the situation:
a) They said that they love each other.


Answer:

They said: "We love each other."
Some time ago they told me that they love each other.
I believe it.
And they are still doing it.

(good on them, I say)
