[He's so handsome. And so warm. And he makes her feel like she can be cared about by someone. Is she really going to risk that for something that isn't operative anymore? That can't happen anymore?]
[No. No way in hell. She deserves one nice thing, just one. He doesn't want to know, she can be herself without dragging him through all of that suffering.]
[She smiles up at him, sliding a hand against his cheek and putting a kiss on the other one.] You say the sweetest things.
