“Violet, something’s changed in you. Toward me. You’re distant, cold. I don’t know what I’ve done, but I’ll leave you alone from now on if that’s what you want. Is that what you want? You know why I’d leave you alone? Cause I care about your feelings more than mine. I love you. There, I said it. Not just on some chalk board. I’d never let anybody or anything hurt you. I’ve never felt that way about anyone.”
