[No! I will not allow you to be taken away from me. I refuse to let you escape my grasp. You need to be my partner forever.]
Rachael's body ached as she was played tug-of-war with. Both sides continued to pull her toward themselves, and it hurt. Rachael finally had enough and decided to put an end to it all.
"Both of you! Let me go right now. I will decide on where I need to go."
The two parties looked surprised enough to release Rachael. The decision had truly been left for Rachael to make.
"Rachael, come back home with me. Everyone is worried about you. I am worried about you. Please! Come back."
That desperation sounded familiar. There was only one person Rachael knew who pleaded with her like this and did not care about his reputation.
[You cannot leave me! You are the only one I have. Please, don't abandon me.]
