“Is that because you don’t have the money? Because I already—”
I put my hand up to stop him. “Yes, you already offered to pay for it, but I’m not your problem, Zack.”
He stared at me for a moment, “What if I want you to be my problem?”

“No, that’s not why, and why is that so wrong?”
“Because some women don’t need to be rescued. I, for one, do not need that. I took care of a large home on my own. I found a new job and moved to a new city all by myself.”
“Not the safest part of town.”
“It is better than some places.” I reached over the table and touched his hand. “Zack, I need to do this on my own. I need you to understand that it is important that I do.”
