"Yes, let us leave this country for a while. You could do a year course abroad to make you the greatest painter and we could return afterward."
"You have work here," I reminded him since it seems he has forgotten that he had a company he could not simply forget about.
"I started that and worked so hard for the company to meet you. Since I have met you and we are together, it no longer holds the value it once had to me," he replied looking into my eyes.
I was overwhelmed by the sincerity I saw in those eyes but I could not accept seeing him abandon an international company like that because of me.
"No, I will not let you abandon your years of hard work for me," I told him firmly.
"Why? I worked hard for you and if you are not happy here, there is no reason for me to remain here," he replied firmly.
"There is," I shook my head firmly.
