"I don't think I'll be able to love someone the way I loved you, Cassy." He said, his voice shaking as he ran his fingers through his messed hair.
"And I hate that even if I tell you how much I love you, I won't be able to hear your answer." he continued, warm tears falling down his face as he gaze into her telling eyes.
Cassy, unable to utter a word, bring her hand up shakily to wipe his tears. She reaches out a crumpled piece of paper to him, scribbled note barely visible--making out, "I lov u."

How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly.
