Danny had eventually calmed down and apologised, but then he had asked her to sympathise with him because of how upset he was. He just loved her so much that it hurt him to think of her with anybody else, that was all.

She didn’t even understand why there had to be a victim. Why couldn’t they just have a nice time? Why was happiness so unsustainable for him?
