“There was a time in which I could not conceive of how I could ever forgive you. And in this moment, I am you.”
- “…but if we are honest with each other, I think we both know that…”
- “Stop,”
- “…sooner or later the day is going to come when, no matter our feelings, the world will demand that you and I…”
I am so sorry for working so hard to protect the wrong things. For failing to see that there is nothing important that does not include you.
Yesterday she was enraged and today she is not. That is not seduction, that was simply removing the cause of her frustration.
Of course she will choose you. The fort is going to fall. Tomorrow. Next week. Someday. And I do not believe for a moment that you are stupid enough to let yourself be buried beneath it when it does. It will pain her to leave me behind… What we have shared these past few months, it will be very hard. But you… without you, there is no her. I am here in part to secure my own future. I will not apologize for that. But that is not why I’m asking you to cooperate with me. I am asking because though I know we have our differences, I know there is one thing we share. We both love her. Let us make sure her future at least is secure.
