Unrequited love was never pleasant, he had no idea what he should say next or if he had any right now to fight it. His beautiful, wonderful day was squandered. He couldn't hide the hurt, he wasn't used to wearing masks, but he shook his head, tears clogging his throat as he tried to find a response. "Don't be---" he managed to say, kissing her on the cheek and trying to find the strength to get to the door. He stood up, pausing as if he could say anything else, but he didn't know what. "I'll see around," it was like some badly written romance comedy, except he didn't know if it was going to end happily--ever. He whispered for Sammy to come to the door as he refastened the leash. "Happy Valentine's Day," Jonah said. He wasn't so happy anymore.
