"Well, for one thing," She looked out the window into the dark parking lot, pain etched on her face," I give up when things get too hard. If things don't go my way, or work the way I planned it then I walk away."

"Are you saying you want to walk away from us?" His brows knit together and he stared at his hands.

You want to leave? Okay, why? Let's fix it. Let's make sure you want to stay. If there comes a day when we both want to leave, we'll know he'll has frozen over. For now, we have eachother, and that's it, so we work on it."
