‘I tried reasoning with her; she wouldn’t listen.’
‘And?’ James asked, exasperated. ‘Try again.’
‘I can’t force her to trust me.’
‘You love her, right?’
Mark nodded.
‘Then why are you giving up so easily?’
‘That’s just how it is. Her friends can’t understand why she’s with me, I don’t understand either. She deserves someone better.’
‘Not this crap again. That’s for her to decide; not you or her friends.’
‘Well, she’s decided.’
‘Based on a misunderstanding!’
‘That I’ve tried to explain.’
‘Then explain again.’
‘There’s no point. It’s probably for the best.’
