really don't want to talk about this."

"I don't either," I said. "But it's the only way we're going to

resolve things."

"Or it'll make things worse."

"Got any better ideas?" Immediately, I wished I hadn't asked.

He did have another idea, and it was one I couldn't stand considering

until we'd at least given this a last ditch, pull-out-all-the-stops, hail

I started to divert the conversation, but he beat me to it.

me to say we're better off with other people?"

I pulled in a breath. "Is… is that what you want?"

what I want, Andrew." Anger crept back into his voice. "I'm tired of

the guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I have to stay so I'm not the asshole
