"We can be together now. You and I, we're the same," he murmured, kissing her on the temple.
She shook her head and pursed her lips. "No, we're not." She stepped back pressing her palm against his chest to keep him from moving closer. "I went back to the light, you didn't." Her voice broke as she looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, "And I don't blame you, I know what they did to you, what they made you do, and you were so strong, but---." Looking down she sobbed, and pressed her hand to her mouth. "But I look at you now and I don't recognize you. You've changed. The things you've done... The man I loved died a long time ago." His hands fell and he stared at her long and hard.
"I---."
But she cut him off, her words barely a whisper. "You aren't my Ben."
