[H] Falling Into Your Arms

the confrontation

I decide to go to Bri's place as soon as she told me Ainsley was there.

A few minutes later, there she was, standing outside her house.

"Yeah, what do you want?"

"Hey," I greeted awkwardly. "I just wanted to ask you something. Could you get inside the car?"

"Okay."

She was silent on the way back home. I didn't talk as well.

"So, Bri told me you were considering resigning."

"Yeah. But I feared you would follow suit."

"You could've told me first. I would be open about it."

"Why...why?"

She started breaking down. "I don't deserve to be with you, Anderson. I'm just a producer, and I happened to be the one that you loved so much. I love you, Anderson. But I have to let myself explore new things, and that means you will have to be by yourself. Even if that happens, I will still be by your side and love you no matter what. Anderson, I want myself to be better. And in order to do that, I have to leave you behind. I'm sorry."

"I love you, Ainsley. And I will respect your decision."
