He looked over at her at that. "I didn't ask you to get back in to bed to break up with you, Heather." How messed up would that be? "I don't know what to do. But I've never lied to you." Meaning he hadn't given her that ring under false pretences. He loved her, he just didn't know if he could do this. Commitment was far more terrifying than anything else a person could face.
