Gareth heaved a long, sad sigh. "Do you hate me that much?"
"It's because you deceived me with your health. Put yourself in my shoes—would you be happy or miserable if someone you no longer like lingers around you all the time?"

Elisa was speechless.

Her eyebrows creased uncomfortably. "At least he stops when I tell him to stop and wouldn't come up with excuses—"
