“You want the truth?"

"With you, maybe the lie is better this time. Your version of the truth is a bit brutal for my taste."

"Okay. Lies it is. I don't miss you."

But you deserve it all. The dancing in the rain finale with some lovesick twat who can give you the best of him for the rest of your long lives.” He walks back to his room, leaving me in a mess of my own emotions.

So, heal yourself, but don’t let go of the memories. They’re what make you so very you.”
