""No. You're not leaving me," she said. "I've decided and that's it."

I'll never forget those words or the image in my mind of her standing there in the kitchen crying. Pleading with me. You see, I was trying to break up with her.
Why?
Because I was afraid to tell her the truth. I was afraid she wouldn't love me anymore. I thought that it would mean our whole relationship had been a lie."
