It is difficult to stop loving someone. I do not think I have ever done so, in my brief life. I imagine it must only be harder when that love has lasted centuries. Do not give it up, Lord Saxon. You are upset, and rightly so, with how he has treated you. But, as you advised me only a few days ago, one should not make decisions in haste, particularly concerning love. When the immediacy of what has happened has faded, you will be able to see the path more clearly.

[She squeezes him again.]

But I do not like to see you so upset. Someone you love should not cause you such pain, especially not deliberately.
