Finally, he said, "I know you don't love me."
She answered uneasily, "What?"
He sighed, continuing. "I know you love somebody else. I don't know him, but I feel you needing him. It's hurting us both, you being here and me not being who you want. You can leave tonight if you'd like."
Stunned but calm, she replied, "I'm not sure what to say."
He struggled. "You're not... listen, just go. But please, a favor? Don’t look at me or say goodbye when you leave."
