"Have you ever thought that, maybe, I don't want her to remember how things were between us? Maybe I WANT her to forget me."

His brown eyes, normally so joking, were dark and serious. "She deserves better, April. She and I, we're too alike. She deserves to be safe."
He turned and began walking away. April was furious. "She always told me you saved her, Randy," she called after him. "Every time. YOU saved her."
If he heard her, he didn't reply. The door swung closed behind him, and April was left reeling, wondering how she could explain to everyone why he wasn't there.
