❝I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me why you can't leave me, Claire!❞ he shouts into the empty room, right at my tearful eyes. ❝Because my feet fail me walking through the door! My knees turn to liquid, my arms lose all strength, and my mind scatters until the only thing I can think about is how I can't lose you. No matter how much you hurt me, or I hurt you... I can't leave, and I hate you for it. Yet, I love you with everything that I am! It makes me... You make me feel weak.❞
