I know. I know. I know.
“I know,” she said, stepping closer to him. “I know...I’m so sorry for things I said.”
“It’s fine,” he said. “You had no way of knowing.”
She nodded.
“But...Liv, I need to talk to you about something,” he said, his voice breaking on the last word.
“Ok.”
“This isn’t working,” he said, exhaling a heavy sigh.
No. No. No.
Liv felt her heart shattering into a million pieces.
“I don’t understand.”
“Us,” he said, looking to the floor.
“Oh. I didn’t...”
“I can’t do it anymore,” he said, running his hands through his hair.
No. Please. No.
“Oh,” she said, her chest hurt.
“I can’t go on the way we were,” he said, his eyes full of pain.
“Oh. Did I do something? I’m so sorry for the things I said.”
Please. Please.
“It’s not that.”
She blinked. “What then? Is there someone else?”
“God, no.”
Thank god.
“Oh, is it something I did?”
“Liv, I don’t want a secret relationship,” he blurted out.
Oh.
She stared at him.
“It’s too painful,” he said, his voice softer. “I don’t just want a piece of you. I want it all - all of you.”
She bit her lip, wanting to speak but not having the words.
“I love you,” he said.
Her eyes were fixed on him; her skin tingling.
