"It's you...you do not want us..."
He finally said it. And it broke her heart more hearing him. Even his voice sounded weak. The boldness of it was gone.
"...and yet I can't help but love you...If I can't be in your love, I m only allowing myself to be consumed in this heartbreak that you have caused me...do not take that away from me."
He let out. And more tears poured out of Tinsley's eyes. She fell against his chest and he hugged her. So did he. She could not help the sob.
"Do you know that you are killing yourself slowly?"
Tinsley gritted her teeth, lightly slapping against his chest. He did not react much other than giving her a sad smile.
"It's nice to know you care."
"Of course, I do...of course, I do...I have always cared for you, Ross. You are the father of Ava and you saved my life...I owe you so much...yet do not know where to start paying you off...it seems like I have only caused you more pain. "
