"Ann, people need to vent their emotions. If you keep your emotions bottled up inside, they will only become a thorn that makes you hurt constantly. I'm willing to do this because I don't want the second person to see how vulnerable you are. You're my partner, and whatever you've been through, I just hope your life will be easier after you are with me."
Annette bit her lip, her eyes misty, and her voice choked. She said, "What makes you so self-righteous?"
"I'm self-righteous?"
"That's right. You are self-righteous and eloquent. Let me ask you something. Would you have done it if it weren't for Alina who had done it? I don't think so. Alina was the one who did this, so you're making excuses to take the blame for her. Don't say that I'm jealous. That's not the point. I'm mad at you. Do you know why? Because I told you about the thing that hurt me the most and then you let me down. What's the point of using my soft spot to test your relationship with her?"
