"Orlando you shouldn't love me." I say trying my best to be calm. "Olivia why? Explain it to me." "Because that's the way I am." My voice is rising again. "I am unlovable. If you love me, you'll die. You'll die and leave me. I can't bear that Orlando. I can't." "That's not true. Olivia that is not true. I love you and there is nothing you will say to convince me otherwise or to make me stop. Olivia I'm here." He grabs my hand and places it on his cheek. "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I swear to you, I will never leave you. I will always stay by your side. Whatever it is you are going through or will go through, we will go through it together. You know why? Because I cannot envisage my life without you. I just can't do it Olivia." The tears that clouded Orlando's eyes finally drop.
