She handed him a cup of tea and sighed, "maybe. I like you Anthony but I often feel like I'm doing everything alone here. And I'm not saying that to keep hashing on it, but it feels true. And I get this is a big first for you but you said you loved me right?"
Smiling she set her hand on his arm, "and love is more then saying it. Go with your gut. If you make a mistake, you correct it and learn from it. And seriously you're like god knows how many years older then me and the girl who got pregnant at 16 is giving you advice." She smirked at him. "Live, alright? If God's real, I'm pretty sure He's going to frown at you just existing."
