Verdict

A decision has been made. I let it sink in. You were right, of course. I just needed time to think (and lots of consultations here and there).

It took a while for me to accept and understand. It's a show of weakness for me to even consider granting you this chance. The thing is, I will probably regret not meeting you. I wonder if the risk is worth the reward?

I still don't know your real motive. That's what bothers me. What's so important that you can't say it over a phone call? When I was the one asking you to meet me, you refused and pushed me away. No difference from when we were young... I still take what I can receive.

Please... If this is the last time, be honest with me. No promises, no lies. Even in the absence of love, there should be respect.
