Getty's words were laced with urgency, her cheeks flushed from the combined effects of her haste and the tears
threatening to spill from her eyes. She held Alexander's gaze, her eyes brimming with emotion. Before he could
respond, the tears she had been holding back spilled down her cheeks. She clutched Alexander's hand,
displaying a level of humility and pleading that was uncharacteristic of her. "Please, don't sendaway," she
implored. Alexander's gaze, deep and thoughtful, lingered on her face. He studied her for a long moment before
heaving a sigh of resignation. He took hold of Getty's hand, using his free hand to gently wipe away her tears.
"Why put yourself through this?" he asked.
"I can't help it," Getty confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "As | walked here, | found myself reflecting
on everything, all from my perspective. | was tempted to act selfishly.
"| could've just left you behind.
"But the thought of us parting ways, of possibly never seeing you again, it felt as though a piece of my heart was
being ripped out. Life seemed pointless without you."
Her words elicited a laugh from Alexander.
"How can you still laugh? You said the choice was mine. So, I'm staying. Even if you end up panhandling, I'll be
right there beside you!"
A complex expression flickered across Alexander's face.
After a moment of silence, he spoke softly. "Alright, no more crying."
Getty hastily wiped away her tears, her grip on Alexander's arm tightening. She looked into his eyes, her own
filled with deep affection. "So, we're not breaking up, right?"

could face in the future, as long as you're prepared for that." "I know it all, better than anyone! Don't say another
word." Getty's tone was resolute, her gaze unwavering as she stared at him, as if trying to prove her
determination. Alexander pondered for a while before withdrawing his hand. "If you're sure, then that's good.
Let's get out of the car."
Getty leaned against his shoulder, her voice playful as she asked, "Can't you stay tonight? Just be with me."
He picked up the various items scattered on the dashboard, grabbed her purse, and began stuffing items into it.

Handing her the purse, Alexander said, "Not tonight, | have things to do."
"What things?"
"That's not your concern."
Getty bit her lip, a flicker of anger crossing her face, but she quickly suppressed it, still shaken from the recent
threat of a breakup.
"Are you going back to that dummy?" she asked, her tone wounded.
"It's work-related. Now, go back and get srest," Alexander replied, placing the purse in her lap and
unbuckling her seatbelt as a final parting gesture. Alexander rarely offered explanations, so Getty felt slightly
reassured. His demeanor made it clear to her that he wasn't planning on breaking up with her after all.

If she walked away, he wouldn't show the slightest hint of sentimentality, even more so than her display just
moments ago.
It was his ability to detach himself that made her feel utterly helpless, that drew her deeper into their
relationship.
Had he shown even a sliver of clinginess just then, Getty would not have felt so shaken and insecure.
Indeed, in matters of the heart, regardless of the other person's status, it's the one who holds the reins that ends
up on top.
