"Please, look at me..." Gina forced her eyes up, non-focusing, in the general direction of Cade's voice. Tears blurred her vision and a tinny metallic sound had now begun to buzz in her ears as he continued to speak "... you know I will always love you, I'm just not IN love with you.

"Yes, of course I do," I said, smiling, hoping to convince the rest of the group that I had been paying attention. The look on Sarah's face suggested they were already on to me.
