    "You really want to know what I see in you, Angela?" Austin spoke up. "I see a woman, a beautiful, smart, caring woman, with a fine sense of humor and with a good soul. That's what set you apart from all other women, not just black women that I have crossed paths with in my lifetime," he said.

    "I also see a woman who's been hurt so many times, that she's afraid to be close to the source," Austin continued.

    "Oh? So then why do you keep pushing me away?" Austin asked coldly. "Why can't you let me love you?"
