Rory stopped and just looked at her for a minute. He tried to gather his thoughts. "If you don't want me to be in your life, that's fine. I get that. But just tell me that. Don't give me the "you don't want anything to do with me" bullshit. I've heard it plenty of times from people that ended up being pretty awesome people. Unless you're planning to use that sword to kill me, I think I can make a decision on who I do and don't want to associate with."
