"I am sorry that you ever felt that way, that you had to sacrifice your ideals because of love." he murmurs that within close confines of her space. "You were right though, you were right in the long run for something like that was never going to be good for you-- you should always be true to yourself and anyone who does not understand that does not need to be in your life, though clearly he is not anymore."
