“Please don’t tell me after all this time in there, you’ve come to the conclusion of leaving me.” We both swallowed involuntarily. “Because, Alexis, I can’t survive you leaving me. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not next year. You are it for me. I need you. I’ll do whatever I have to do: retrain my mind…work with you to restore whatever it is in you that I’ve broken…your faith in me so you can see that I can change to be better for you. Just. Don’t. Leave. Me.”
