Me Neither. When can I see you again? Do you know how hard it is to see you every day at work? I don't know how to pretend. My heart races every time you're near me.
When are you going to tell her? I’m tired of waiting. You promised. I can’t keep doing this forever. I love you, but you're tearing me apart. You’re killing me.
Why are you being like this? I’m giving you as much as I can. Don’t you see that? You know I love you, so why are you always making me feel so guilty?
“Why would you do that to me? Why can’t you ever leave me alone?”
(Sanchez 202-203)
