"I really hope you and your father aren't alike in the aspect of his crazy obsession with your mother. I do not have the time nor the patience to deal with a man chasing me around trying to force me to love him," Helen started walking ahead of Eli and Noah to look around. "I don't have the same amount of strength as Elaine did to put up with it for so long."
"I assure you my father and I are nothing alike when it comes to relationships and everything else. I never had to and will never try to force someone to love me. If you decide you want to leave me, we can have one final talk, and if your mind does not change I will let you go." For Eli, there were too many people in the world to be stuck on someone to the point of completely destroying their life.
He loved Helen more than he expected in such a small amount of time but he would never hold her back from leaving if that was the choice she wanted to make.
