“Summer, I need you to tell me we’re going to be okay. I need to hear the words because I’m so in love with you that I can’t bear to stay in any kind of limbo.” She stares at me in shock, but I continue. “I know it might take time to trust me again, to trust in us. But I need to know you haven’t given up. That I have a shot. Please, Summer, I love you.”
