Paul's heart was frozen solid, he did not want to handle another blow, another loss. "I do not."
"So when she leaves, you are just going to let her go?" James asked incredulously.
"What else am I supposed to do then?"
"Paul, she is not just some slut you are keeping around. Whatever you have with her goes beyond that. I do not understand why you are in denial about this. If it is about Emma, then it's time for you to move on now. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?"
"Shut up."
"Look, she is going to leave as soon as this is finished. Are you really prepared to give her up?"
Paul could not imagine his life without that woman living in his house. Just getting any sleep without her would be impossible for him.
