I could ask you the same thing. Why you go to such lengths to hide how much you care.
[She said lightly, looking at him firmly. Her hand twisting slightly in his grip.]
I was taught that showing my true emotions is nothing but a weakness. That people will only ever use those things to hurt me. I was told to never show my heart to anyone, and to keep my heart closely guarded at all times; to never let anyone in.
[Her eyes fell sadly, memories of her upbringing also coming to cloud her vision.]
But, obviously, that leads to a really lonely life, doesn't it? [she said, looking back up at him.] In other words, it's not that I don't think that you can't handle it. But so far you trying to make me think that you don't care at all so why would I then? Why would I be so selfish as to burden stranger with my pain?
