"Do you think I don't know that Klaeb? Do you think I didn't agonize about this for months? I wanted to be your wife for the rest of our days, but I just can't. I fell out of love with you. And I refuse to feel bad for the rest of my life."
"You fell out of love with me? What did I do wrong Laeran? I hjave been nothing but a good man since we have been together. I am exactly the kind of man a lot of women would love to be with. And yet, you're telling me no, not anymore? This makes no sense Laeran. And I deserve a better answer than "I fell out of love." And I want it now."
"That is all the answer you're going to get Klaeb. You are not the boss of me, I am my own woman, dear. I am sorry that it is over, but I am not going to stand here and defend my own heart. We are over. Let me go with some dignity Klaeb. This is bad enough as it is."
A dignified breakup? Damn you woman, what of our vows, the vows we both spent so much time writing together? They were supposed to mean something lasting. We bopth spoke of our enduring love. This is not enduring."
"I changed Klaeb, and I am sorry, but please, let me go now."
"As if I could stop you Laeran."
"You know what I mean Klaeb. Please, for what we had, when it was good, it was very good."
She looked at him, and her gaze was more than he could bear. He looked away and fought back his tears.
"Go. Just go, let me be here alone."
Her voice barely rose above a whisper. "Thank you Klaeb."
