“I’m breaking up with him.”

“Why?”

“It’s unfair to continue our relationship under the circumstances.”

“You told me you love him.”

“I do. Just not enough. Not the way he deserves to be loved and I don’t want to hurt him. How could a woman who calls herself deeply in love with a man, marry someone else? Even under false pretenses?”

Ethan shrugged. “I don’t know.”
