“Look, I can’t pretend to understand why you want to salvage whatever it is you have with Sylvie. But I love you and I respect you enough to trust you on this. If you think this is what’s best, if this is something you really want, then I think you should go for it. I also think you need to prepare for what happens if she disappoints you again. This isn’t the first time she’s tried to work things out with you, but I think, for your sake, that it needs to be the last.”
