Her smile vanished, her chest tightening with an ache she couldn't suppress. Tears welled in her eyes.
A deep sense of helplessness washed over her as she whispered, "Why do you have to be so kind to me? The more I care about you, the harder it is to walk away." Silent sobs wracked her body, tears slipping down her cheeks and vanishing into the plush carpet.
